Hi Guys
Whats the best way to refurb these?
I've stripped it back to bare plastic.

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.

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
