A bit here an there 8) …gonna look worse before it gets better….im confident you will be more than pleased with the finished result…you will need to make it clear what you want removing off your car apart from the obvious otherwise they won't do it…looking forward to some updates :wink:
Yeah Mal asked me earlier if I wanted certain things removed and I asked for a few other bits to be done aswell.
Cant wait to go over next week for a look now

The difference between mine and your's…..mine went down pretty much stripped so he knew what he was working with…yours on the other hand looks very tidy as is….Mal's garage is not in the habit of tucking anyone up…if he feels summit should be looked it he will let you know….then it's up to you…..totally a fair bloke..

Had a bit of spare time today (while my new puppy was sleeping) so I decided to fit the badge refurb kit I had from chortle to the rear badges.
Took longer to do than planned as there quite fidley to get in the right position.
Once each badge was complete I made sure they were firmly in place before applying a few coats of clear laquer. I will give them a few more coats before re-fitting.
If your badges are like mine were then I would highly recommend the kit.

Its weird Rich, when the stickers are on the backing they dont jump out at you but they look completly different once fitted.
Not looking forward to doing the karmann ones, they look really fidley.

Karmann ones are easy as the bit of tape on the front sorts it all out for you !!
My Karmann, Golf GTI and Vw stickers are all still great but the Volkswagen one has dog eared at the corners so I have another kit from Carl to do it this Springtime.

Make sure you put quite a few coats of clear laquer on Chris.
Failing that the kits are a reasonable price if they need doing more than once.

Cheers mate.
All I did was sand them back, gave them a few coats of satin black paint. Left to dry overnight on a warm radiator. Then applied them one at a time using a tweezers as I found it awkward using my fingers. Plus using a tweezers stops any oils from your skin getting in the sticker and making them less sticky.
Dont apply to much pressure incase you dont get it lined up first go.
Once there all on apply a few coats of clear laquer to seal them in.

did you primer the badges first? I've got to do my front GTI grill badge and the karmann badges being putting it off as I'm not great with intricate things!

No I didnt bother with primer mate.
Done a few badges in the past without doing it.
Just make sure you give them a good sanding so the paint has something to stick to.
Without primer it will just take more layers of paint to hide the sanding marks.
I hate doing things like this but found using a tweezers much easier.
The first letter I put on was using my fingers and found it really awkward.
Used a tweezers and flew through the rest then.
Just make sure you press the edges down firmly after each one just to help them stick.
