PAINTING REAR CORRADO BADGE?

[warren 0]

this might sound like a silly question, but does anybody know if there is any special primer you may need to paint a chrome corrado badge? i fancy the badge in flash red but at the moment its chrome, and i have looked everywhere for one but with no luck :( so i thought i would paint the one i have :confused4: or would this not be such a good idea?

Just sand it down really well and that should help the red look fresh

someone mentioned to me that because of the chrome, i would need a special primer :confused4:

Moving to Exterior.

 

(If something relates to Corrados, odds are that it doesnt belong in General where you seem to be starting a few threads....)

If its a chrome badge, you could be better off selling it for lots of money and buying a brand new badge from TPS or dealers for £12 and spraying that.

 

Chrome badges are hard for people to find and the new one comes ready primed. I sold the chrome and bought a new one :)

Wet & dry, Halfords plastic primer aerosol, Halfords satin black aerosol, then the red over the top is how I'd do it...

yeah :lol: would the badge also need to be lacqured to get the gloss finish?

deffo sell the badge or swap it for a painted/primered one rather than butcher a chrome one,plenty people on the forum look for the chrome ones every so often
