    Thats the one.

    Rub lots until the paint comes off the badges and they turn black!

    aaahhh right.

    Sorry for sounding a complete and utter retard then but just blagged my head for a second as to how polishing something can change the colour of it.

    But im guessing that the bages is actually black and the silver is very lightly sprayed on?


    Cheers for that guys.

    Haha, Its fine man.

    The tcut basically just takes the paint off.. which is silver and takes it back to the undercoating of black.

    thats correct and as T-Cut is abrasive it rubs the paint off
