   its easy to remove them and spray them, just need some wet and dry paper, plastic primer, paint and laquer. i think either black or colour coded to your car mate, painting them is much cheaper than getting the boot smoothed

   will take couple of hours depending on how long you leave between coats of primer, paint and laquer. Also how many coats of each you do. just take badges of rough up with wet n dry, then 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and same of laquer. looking at about £18 for paint from halfords if you get the large cans mate
