Here is a new look for the badge that I decided to do. I opened the back of the badge and the grill so I could see more detail. Also makes it easyer to clean between the hocky sticks. Tell me what you all think.

Looks good. What paint did you use for the badge?

Bradley G. I used a Dremel from the back side of it and slowly carved it out.

vpalhories. The paint used is real body paint from the boo-boo that my wife did. She talked the repair shop into painting everything because thats the way I had it before.

I like it. Looks like a great excuse for me to buy a Dremel. Going to have to eventually go in the shop for bumper work anyway...maybe I can get them to paint both the badges while they are at it.

I just recently painted my rear badge however I'm not very happy with it. I used Black Spray Paint specific for Plastic. From far away, it looks ok, however up close the finish on the badge is not as "shiny" as the rest of the car. Any recommendations?

I used something called "Color Back" before that works well for parts that are just shades apart. Works well to blend two parts that had been painted several years apart. IE because of an Boo Boo or touch up. Hope this helps ya.
