Speed Six Boot Badge

[RPE11Y]

The black paint has come off my boot badge - where can I get a new one or get it re-furbished?

Leven refurb badges, but as far as I'm aware, they need a group of people to make it worth their while. You might want to see how many other people are interested in having theirs done.

TVR Power were selling them a while ago.
Why not take it off,
Cover in nitromors paint stripper to remove all the black.
Clean with white spirit.
You will be left with a totally silver badge.
Spray with black hammerite 4 coats.
Carefully using a stanley blade peel the black paint from the letters.
Then spray some clear sealant over the badge.

Job done.
Costs very little.
Admittadley not as good as a new badge, but a new badge is around £60+postage if i remember corectly.
Why not give it a go and see what you think if it doesn't look good then get a new one!!
I did mine 3 years ago and it still looks fine.

Hmmmm - might give that a try as its already totally stripped back to the silver....

After seeing Georges one i did mine myself but i rubbed all the chrome off and went for the brass/gold colour effect with the white.

You could get a plain cerbera badge and then no one would know its a S6.

But then people would think it was a V8 ..... Why would we want that :-)

Now it's got me thinking. I too, might have a go at refurbing my badge

Mines all chrome and looking tatty, the front badge is new ( gold/union jack )

Hmmm... What to do...what to do..

mine needs doing as well....think the wet chatsworth weather killed it.

Mines got a clear plastic dome over the whole badge to protect it...,. I thought they were all like that ?

Not pink by any chance? To match the car, resin coated as per Leven aka PRestige performance probably dude

I think you haven't fully hung up that hat have you? ;-)

I think the Leven refurb is definitely worth the money. Mine came back looking fantastic. I'd have liked the purple a little darker but that's just me being picky.

[Krustious]

Well, i took the plunge and had a go myself.

Here are the before and after photos.

Total cost £10.

Excellent work. Refurbishing badges dries cars too. Who'd have thunk it?
