Has anyone sprayed their blue bonnet badge red? Is it easy or does it end up looking rubbish? Do people like it red instead of blue,I'm undecided.

Also how about this for a rear Fiat badge?

eBay badge

Slightly bigger than the standard badge.

I'm thinking the red badges will look better on my steel grey Le?

I have sprayed a few front badges before , one in electric blue and one in wine red .



I have a red one on the car at the moment using the same paint I used to refurb my brembo's .

Yes! They look good. How did you mask off the chrome bits? Sprayed on or by brush?

Just use masking tape and cut with a Stanley knife to cover the silver strips , primer , top coat and lacquer then remove the masking tape when touch dry then leave for the paint to go hard . I used spray cans as your get a better finish than a brush .

Ok cheers. Sounds simple enough.

Just make sure you use your finger nail to push the masking tape tight along the silver parts before cutting .

You mean the wife's finger nail lol. It's bit of a running joke between us how short I cut mine.

Thanks again, I'll get a piccy up when done.

When you two have quite finished I would also like to say what a nice job you have done, but I am surprised because it was blue to start with and I got the impression you rather liked blue.

Only because Blue is the best colour

Ok so here it is. Pretty happy with the results. The chrome strips aren't mint to begin with but still a happy chappy.

Looks very good .

I like the way you've signed your work

I like the red better than blue especially against steel grey.
Did this to mine a couple of months back but decided not to get the red rear badge as mine is debadged at the back.
