boxpin Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Anyone have advice on restoring the chrome look on badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwestbury Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Definitely interested in this, especially on side badges where I'd rather not swap out to blinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I taped it off and sprayed it with Kawasaki case paint on the red 854.. Came out ok but I think a firm roller would have come out better with some metallic plastic apoxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply Volvo Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Are you guessing or have you tried this? I have seen it used and it worked great. Personally I sanded off the chrome and used silver sharpie. I plan on redoing them with a paint pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad850 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Bet you might be able to find some decent ones at a junkyard. I found an 850 emblem for a dollar that looks literally brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survolvo Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yea, if its a common badge, even new they are not expensive and a lot easier than fussing around with paint pens and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
