Emblems & Badges

Feel free to post what you like. I thought to start this thread because put this off long enough, need to face painting these badges. Can't imagine how they painted the Custom/10 type badges, some elves maybe, what the heck Whatever it was the paint at the the never-ending chrome lines were close enough, not perfect.

I read lacquer paint and clean up what you have to with lacquer thinner, so I'll give it a shot. Plenty of taping too, I'll get to know the Custom badges real well The original paint looks pretty flat to me.

Anyone recommend nice 400 badges repop? One 400 has a small scratch though probably using it anyway, it's nice to have options. I'm open to an NOS 400 badge though Yeah right, was lucky to find a nice used one years ago.
