Black chrome clio badges ???????????

[MR SPILL]

I want to remove my rear badges (renault, sport and clio) and get them painted / treated so they have a black chrome finish ?

Don't really know where to look to acheive this finish or even if its possible ?

Any ideas ?????????

Those ebay badges look rough as arse holes...

Can of gloss black spray paint and some keying on the badges, all good, lacquer over for a mirror finish.

It just looks painted black to me.

Remove badge
Sand down to rough it up
Primer
Sand it flat
Paint
Laquer

(Im not a professional painter so im sure someone is gonna correct me )

1. Remove Badges From Car
2. Prep badges with wet and dry or fine abrasive paper to provide a decent key for primer
3. Primer the badges and sand down and primer again etc until a good finish is made
4. Use paint you require ie. gloss black... (Apply several coats) leaving time to dry..
5. Apply several coats of clear non yellowing laquer..
6. Leave to dry so no grubby fingerprints are imprinted on the fresh paint
7. Re-fit

You can buy primer, paint and lacquer for under £20 and can spray a lot more than a couple of badges so I would do it myself personally!!
