Badge Repair?

[mrbon007]

As the title suggests really, is anyone aware of a badge repair service?

I have a Gallardo with a gold coloured metal & black enamel (I assume) badge which has faded on all the gold sections.

Can this be overhauled or am I best off shelling out the £200 for a new (apparently plastic) badge?

was about £120 when I got one in December last year from Lambo Manchester - £200 now ? why ?

Not sure, I got a price a few months back at it was about £120 ish, then last week was told circa £190!

I'd love to know the answer to this too. I had a fruitless search for a badge restorer, and eventually bought a plastic badge from a main dealer. I'd still like to have the original metal badge put back on.

do they need gold plating, or re-enamelling as well?
I'd happily have a go at one if someone wants to send one over....

Personally I think that the old original Lambo badges are much nicer and they don't fade!
They fit the same. Just had it changed on a Murci.

Just gold plating, the enamel is fine. The badge is in perfect condition, just the gold has faded!

Contact BHP in Bucks and see if they can do anything. They are an indy garage and seem to be good at those kinds of niche jobs (or know a man who can).

well I assume we can just stick it in our plater and redo it then. Wanna chuck it in the post and we'll see what its like and what to do? send me a pm if you fancy.

I don't remember mine having any gold on any badges I have to admit!

you could try these guys for a metal badge (site is dutch, but most of it is understandable - looks about €80 for the metal badge
