Can someone please detail the easiest way to spray the front badge black, what products were used etc, thing i'll give it a go this weekend.

I guees remove the grill, then badge, rub down with fine paper, apply primmer then matt black spray? or maybe not!!

and has anyone here got a black 6n2 with black badge on the rear, if so any pictures? not sure whether the back would be too black!!

Sand it down and spray black paint, simple as. I didn't primer mine and it's fine

I sanded mine then 2 coats primer and 3 coats black - its perfect, been on about 2 months now I think and still looks as good as the day i did it!

Just buy one from your local VW dealer. Thats whats I did.

Looks the same now except a lot lower

Black badge on black car looks wicked imo!

I sanded mine down with wet 'n dry, then 2 coats primer & 3-4 of Satin black spray, still lookin' good

Black on black looks good, black on any other colour looks best with the background plastic part colour coded to the car.

And FYI - The front black badge from vw is now obselete so you have to do it yourself really. The back one you can buy, which is what I did.

I need to redo mine as it has some stone chips on the paint

Aye just spray it, however i was one of the lucky ones who have got a proper black one
