Whats the best way to refurb these? I've stripped it back to bare plastic. What colour paint do i use? Title: Re: FE bonnet emblem insert Post by: mcl1959 on March 18, 2020, 04:33:47 PM The paint you use is translucent enamel which is easy enough. The problem is the vacuum metalising process which puts the chrome in the back. You have to get a badge maker to do it for you. Painting the chrome is no good.
I used to do these many years ago and was friendly with a badge maker who would do a batch of twenty for me. Just buy a new repro one. The Vic club have them. Ken Title: Re: FE bonnet emblem insert Post by: Not Happy Jan on March 18, 2020, 07:24:45 PM Thanks Ken,
Who do I see for one of those? Do you have a picture? Title: Re: FE bonnet emblem insert Post by: mcl1959 on March 18, 2020, 09:15:26 PM The badges are excellent. As per the original.
I very rarely get to any of the club events anymore, so I’m not the best contact Ken Title: Re: FE bonnet emblem insert Post by: Stewy on March 19, 2020, 04:47:43 PM (https://i.postimg.cc/K1G8wKKd/febonnetemblemrares.jpg) ($2) Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: FE bonnet emblem insert Post by: Stewy on March 19, 2020, 04:51:16 PM (https://i.postimg.cc/NyrqzYx3/fe-bonnetemblem.jpg) ($2) An interesting picture I found on the net.
