Niice, colour code the background of the VW badge

tomo87 · Post by **tomo87** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 9:03 pm

what by just masking the silver off?

Nah you remove the badge, then cut off the melted points that hold the silver bit to the back, they then seperate.

Spray the back, then glue them back together with a heated glue gun or something

Yeh that's is the more expensive approach lol,

The badge does look cool though

What I'd do if I was you Tom, is I'd get another badge from VW and then take it to a bodyshop and ask them to do a complete colour code, VW and the background. My mate done it on his Black Loop and it looks awesome.

Get more photos of the whole car!

i dunno i reckon tims approach looks the best, or smoothed completely, seen a few with all black badges...just looks a bit like half arsed effort to me
