Spraying badges?

[Robb]

Just a quick question, I want to spray my side badges black...

Is it just a case of masking the surrounds and then spraying them black? What spray should I use?

Thanks

you'll have to rub them down and prime them before spraying or else the paint will just flake off.

id take them off to spray them, then glue them back on afterwards! smileys/smiley2.gif

take them off n just clean with a cloth and spray. no need for primer or sanding down.i did mine months ago and they havn't fooked up at all.

Thanks for the replies, What would be the best paint to use?

which badges are they mate? the citroen & saxo ones?

to be honest i always find the Halfords paint is pretty good really, and you've got loads of colours for choice smileys/smiley14.gif

i'd always sand the bits down & use primer though, just to get a good finish & not have to worry about the paint flaking at all

They're VTR badges but shamefully its not on a VTR, which is why I want to spray them, lol. I didnt put them on...

Ok will have a look at the w/end...
