Replacement Boot Badge
Discussion
you can paint it. i refurbed my front badge.
i sprayed the whole thing gloss black, once dry i block sanded the raised sections with P1000 wet and dry. then i used autosol and a buffer attachment on a drill and buffed it up to a glorious golden shine, and sealed the whole badge with lacquer. it looks as good as new.
it probably cost me £5 as i had drips and brabs of paint and autosol left over from other jobs

If I screw up i'll send it to Leven for a refurb.
Thanks
Or try these guys. I used them and highly recommend them.

They re-chrome, paint and then encapsulate the badge in a clear polyurethane blister to protect it.
