Seen a few Saxos with black rear badges was wondering if they had sprayed them or can you buy them if so where???

They're sprayed. You might be able to buy them (but from people who have done it themselves).

I read you can just take som 1200 wet and dry paper to them and they'll come up black... Wasn't sure, so if anyone can confirm because i fancy black badges?

I sprayed my badges black before they came off completely. Easy enough to get off and spray up but a bitch to stick back on again!

Easiest way is as above, just rub the silver paint off the badges with 1200wet

have a go at t-cutting the chrome off first then you can see if you like them, then if you do take them off and paint them :y:

t cut is the best way to do it. like landy has, you can leave them on the car and no real danger of damaging any paintwork on the tailgate.

does using t-cut make them come out kinda gray? as i have a black furio and wondered if the mismatch in colour would look off? Otherwise im gonna spray them
