speech Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Oh well , There goes that idea Don't think it's too difficult mate - just a case of removing old badge (in 1 piece!) or sourcing a new genuine one, scraping off the paint on the rear and repainting in your choice of colour - at least this used to be the case with Ford badges! For St Andrews cross I'd do the whole thing white then mask off the cross and go over it with blue - jobs a good 'un!! Link to comment

I thought that the point was you did it on the rear of the badge, so you'd not be able to do it all in white first 'cos then you'd not see any blue. I reckon you'd need to mask it off so you were only painting the white bits of the flag first, then remove the masking and do it all in blue, 'cos blue over the back of the white shouldn't make a difference. Fancied having a go at one myself actually. Link to comment

colzo Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Or get an SIDC one. The SIDC badge is about the same size as the STI grill badge rather than the Subaru badge. Link to comment
