   Ok guys, couple of questions, I wanna get new rear 'Citroen' & 'Saxo' badges and spray them, then replace the old ones. Having a silver car, do i spray them black or the same colour as the car?
   Secondly how much are new badges gonna cost from Citroen?

   just use a hair dryer to heat them up to get them off the car
   
   then just rub them down with very fine wet and dry paper
   
   the spray a couple of layers of primer
   
   then a couple of paint
   
   then spray with laqure
   
   then fit them back to the car
   
   if you make any mistakes when spraying just let them dry and sand them down and do them again
   
   i would do them silver
