Mine was prepped properly, but has still flaked a bit, its had a hard life on the front of my car! Now I've got the smooth grill on, its taken up residence in my garage though.

Painted badges always look shit 2 weeks later... I'm yet to see one painted well enough to take the abuse they get on the road...
I actually like chrome badges though, I know I'm in a minority for that lol. Hydrodipped badge would be cool though, would need plenty of lacquer on it.

If you sand it down, isn't it black underneath anyway?
Nah they're chrome coloured plastic all the way through afaik, they're not painted from the factory because paint would get damaged and flake off quickly...

I'm pretty sure it isn't all the way through as i've sanded mine to get rid of the chrome shine and i sanded it down too far in some areas and it was black, or white now that i think about it lol

Hmm really? I've broken one or two, sure it was chrome right through.
17-08-2015, 03:38 PM
Just went to the car to check. So yeah, it's chrome then black then white lol
17-08-2015, 03:42 PM
Well I stand corrected then! I still say it's not paint though, maybe dipped in something? I've never seen one flake or bubble like paint, I'm intrigued now...
17-08-2015, 03:44 PM
So it's white plastic. Black must be primer then coated in whichever method to chrome. Could just gently sand it back to black without going through it lol

I think that may have been where I touched it when I picked it up haha. Its still black it just looks a brighter colour because of the way it reflects the light back different to the rest haha
Having just licked my finger and rubbed it, Turns out it was dead insides of a bug or something. Its gone now haha |
