Colour on the pc appears fine. It might be a tad dark, but it is hard to tell without a NOS example to directly compare it with. Let us say that it looks good enough that I need to see if a bank will swap the moths in my wallet for Australian Legal Tender. Brett |

I agree the colour may be a bit dark but as you say Ken they will fade, detail looks good also. What is the program for the horn button? Also any word on prices?
Cheers,
Graham

Looks great.  In my opinion, if you are getting a reproduction anyway, you shouldn't be too fussed if it is a shade or 2 out, especially if it gives a bit more room for the fade. Red will ALWAYS fade. Rob J |

Looks fantastic Les  No doubt the red will fade (and the silver may even go gold ....), but the detail is excellent. Bring it on. Tim PS nice manicure there Ken |

Looking good. Looks like the colour is pretty spot on. My formerly NOS badge (it's been on the car for a couple of years now) looks dark in the shade also. Depending on price, I would put 1 on the shopping list to put into the sock drawer for use down the track. Here's a couple of different shots showing the changes in colour.   Hope this helps. Regards Alex |

Ken, Those boot badge pics absolutely ROCK looks-wise, repro or not!!!  Personally I think the badge looks magnificent in that dark-red shade and as it fades over time .... even better. I'd give it the thumbs-up the way it is. Les, Any chance of a similar red color and detail for the Rares bonnet badge for an EJ??  Cheers ...... Pete |

Ken....well done....bloody brilliant !
My vote is......don;t mess around trying to please everyone re: colour and darkness.....just start pumping them out !
I'll have one for certain, and if you are doing horn buttons too....then I'll have one of them too !
While I'm at it, if anyone has the chrome surround that these boot badges insert into, can you please let me knoe, mine has broken tabs and I need to find a good for my resto !
Cheers
Mark

Very nice repro indeed...I guess that means I should put my horn button project on hold :-/ One question regarding the paint...Is it a modern oil based metalic? Has it been tested over a period of time to check how it reacts in the sun over a long hot summer? ( By this I don't mean fading, just cracking or crazing) I only ask as I have 4 horn buttons in paint at the moment and I'm just waiting to see how the modern paint goes in the sun :-/ It looks fantastic all the way and it gives new hope to those of us who can't afford $300 odd for NOS badges and buttons !

Pete Pete I am not sure what you mean when you talk about the Rares bonnet badge for an EJ, we do not make this badge and any that we had were NOS. If you mean can we make one the same quality as the FC boot badge the answer is probably no as I do not believe the sales will be there Les |

How I wish my EJ bonnet badge was NOS!!! It was given to me quite a fair few years ago and I was told it had been originally bought from Rares .... just a pity it obviously isn't NOS but in very good condition nonetheless. I believe you could be pleasantly surprised that there might be more demand than expected for the EJ bonnet badge, they are hard to obtain in good condition and I know of many an EJ enthusiast willing to pay handsomely for a nice example. Cheers ...... Pete |
