Carrera S Badge Painting???

My "Carerra S" badge in the back was damaged at the Car wash today (Car Spa PCH Newport they do a great job-- usually)

I was contemplating getting a new "Carrera S" badge painted Midnight Blue- any suggestions in SoCal (preferrably OC) on where to get this done?????

Try Eric at Bumper Plugs. He seems to be able to paint anything.

EdoctaT is infamous around these parts
Go without it?
Looks much cleaner.
Slightly less likely to get keyed or vandalized, too!

Right. He's not local, but he's good. And you could likely mail it back and forth quite easily.

I surmised yesterday that you were exercising extreme self control. I guess you just couldn't hold on any longer. Actually, it might look nice in chrome. More gravitas.

I tell you it was very tough to hold back, I finally broke down and just did it.

Sorry!

No not really

CHROME?

Ain't gonna happen....BUT we do have a really cool finish called Chrome Silver that is a notch below full chrome.

Lately we've been doing a bunch of body-colored emblems but using a satin finish rather than full gloss. Nice touch, sets it off well without being too much bling.

Hi Eric-

Hmmm...the thought that I could have MORE chrome on my car is intriguing....



Can you send any pics of what that would look like and how it differs from the "matte titanium" finish that is the current standard badging....?
