kelviii has it done. You could try paintin a white line round the outside of the VW. Dunno how you could do it so its nice and neat, maybe use tape?

All i done was remove the whole badge ( not just the VW ) and painted it. Dead simple to do mate

What does putting it in the oven do? Harden the paint?
