working on my "I" badge. I have used finger nail polish, Oops remover, and model paint laquer thinner and still cant get all the paint off. I have rubbed it with cotton balls, cotton swabs etc. Let it soak in the thinner all night. This is just a cheap ebay i badge but they really put the paint to it.

I want to put something there besides the star like a letter or something would you recommend sanding it to get the stars shape out and then just trying to hand paint it or if you said will it look all scratched up.!?
I didn't know the stars were grooved into the plastic I thought it was a plate or something you could just pop out instead of having to scrape off |

Finally took my emblems off to paint. FYI there are two small pegs coming out the back of the emblems which make using fishing line a little difficult. I ended up just prying off both the front and rear emblems while trying not to scratch up the surrounding paint. As you can see in the first pic, there is a lot of sticky goo all over the back. I mostly used sandpaper to remove the blue. Then did very fine grit sandpaper followed by meguiars plastic cleaner and polish to get rid off all the scratches. Used a duplicolor metallic red paint on the back. Took lots of coats and some brush marks are barely visible. I think I might try spraypaint if I had to do it again just so it would be more even.

Bingo! Came out Perfect!! Gloss black backround. Paint used = Krylon Fusion gloss black I just put the emblem back in the chrome ring to take a pic and see how it would look.... Going to paint the chrome ring matte black in a minute. I'll get pics up asap. Will be using Matte Black wheel paint for the chrome ring after I prime it with Valspar plastic primer! -Beach |
