Custom Badges...

[fUbAr]

Final coat of laquer has just dried... they need 24hrs to cure before being fitted to the car.

Turned out quite nice, anthracite badges with Inferno writing.

not really, no lol. They needed a white base to the writing before the Inferno colour really came through.

Process:

Buy badges off ebay = £20.03
Thorough clean and sand using 1200 grit
Primer, sand, primer, sand
Anthracite base coat, dry for 24 hours
sand
Anthracite base coat, dry for 24 hours
Hand paint matte white writing as a base for the Inferno.
Hand paint Inferno writing, 2 coats.
dry thoroughly
Laquer x 3, leaving 8 hours between coats

Tips:

TAKE YOUR TIME!!
Its all in the preperation, this isnt something that can be started and finished in 1 day... took me 4 days.

I really wanted to get a factory finish rather than ones that look hand painted.

read up there ^^

Middo advised to just paint the Inferno straight onto the anthracite, but that didnt work as Inferno needs a white base coat for the colour to work properly.

So I had to do the anthracite, then primer the letters only in white, then paint them inferno. Was a nightmare but they look superb! :approve:

 

[fUbAr]

just gave them a final Scratch X, polish and wax.... came up even better now

 

[Turner]

Wow now they really do look factory sprayed,very very good job that mate

 

[Faxo]

What colour is the anthracite, it looks abit like Ford Magnum Grey?

 

[fUbAr]

Peugeot Cossack Grey

as close to the 182 wheel colour as i could find.

I normally just use Megs 7 Show Car Glaze on new paint for a few weeks, but if you have waxed them already just carry on.
