Spraying Renault badges??

[MarClio]

I have a Mk2 Clio. Thinking of spraying my diamond Renault badges black or grey. Im just not to sure of how to go about it. Do I just apply primer leave to dry then spray colour? And also how are the front and back badges removed? Thanks...

you need to sand them down/key them properly, then apply a plastic primer (don't use halfords, its crap) then a normal primer, wet sand, then paint and lacquer

its a term used when sanding to create a rough surface for the plastic primer to adhere to easily, before using high build primer to smooth the surface out.

I've recently done mine... Give them a sand to rough the surface up... Ten plastic primer leave to dry, paint, few coats, then Lacquer.. Leave to dry over for a good few hours before fitting....

I used halfords primer and paint and found it very good... But I guess it's personal preference.

<------------ £25 + VAT + p&p(£5) the pair (front + rear) assuming in good condition (i.e not too chipped up).

^^^ pretty good deal, paint, primer and lacquer will cost around £20 to do it yourself and this way your guaranteed a professional finish.
