1.4 16v Badges on sides

[DingDong]

Can anyone tell me what to do about the 1.4 16v badges that are part of the side bump strips... Im having the side bump strips and everything colour coded, but it will be hard to get to get the bit that says 1.4 16v colour coded cause of the raised writing?

Are there standard plain ones I can order from renault that can be rubbed down and sprayed with the other bits on my car?

Need advice.



Cheers

When they are rubbed down do they go to the same level as the rest of the bump strip? nice and even?

 

[R3OBC]

errrr......they fit ok

 

[DingDong]

Just ok? Im a perfectionist

When u get them painted ask them to mask up the raised 1.4 16v.

Why would it be hard to paint the raised letters mate? If you look at the Cup/172 they are all sprayed in a chrome effect paint.

I dont want them to say anything... i just want it to be plain to match in with the rest of the strip....

Then youll have to follow R3OBCs idea of rubbing them down first. Ideally, they need to be sanded anyway to provide a good key for the plastic primer.

I quite like the idea of spraying it all body colour & keeping the badges.... But wouldnt they look a bit odd having the chrome badge on a silver background? I dont know how im gonna go about this... I will worry closer to the time.... which is next month! lol
