hi, I think of spraying the yaris an toyota Badge in gold

is it a simple job to remove the Badge, couple of coats of normal gold paint, then stick it back on with silicon sealant?

[Fidgits]

erm, no.

Proffessional companies charge upwards of £100 to gold plate badges.. and theres a reason why...

[vmail]

it wont be gold plated, just sprayed gold

[Calisto]

it wont be gold plated, just sprayed gold

I think it might look cheap and nasty <_<

There was a thread about a week ago in one of the forums about Gold plated logos. Can't seem to find it ATM though....I'll keep looking.

I might get the goldgenie

I'm in two minds over this idea (maybe three!).

Sprayed gold will look rubbish. Gold paint is usually a matt finish and would needs loads of thin coats of lacquer.

Gold plated badges? Hmm... very nice, very expensive! They could almost be worth it but I wonder how long they would stay on a car on average?

And one last thing... after all that trouble would some people think "wannabe Lexus"?

Just thinking out aloud. It's your choice obviously.

How much is that piece of kit btw?

gold is just sooooooooooooooooooooooooo tacky!

if your gonna keep the badges then leave them chrome!

or go one better and bin them! :P

[+Steve]

it all depends on colour... light color car it does not suit very well

Tacky my asss jaxx :D

[jaxx]

oi! stop jumping the swear filter!

personal taste i suppose, i liked the gold ones on Duncans green IS

but wont work on some colours at all

[Fidgits]

its all down to personal taste, if you want gold badges vmail, you get them..

Just get them done decent, gold spray will just look cack!
