   If you have bare metal then etch prime it. If not then just rough it up with a red scotch brite and clean with a solvent mask up and paint any colour you like. Rear badges need plastic primer.

   will be cheaper if you find a local trade paint supplyer mate. Halfords paint is now so over priced its crazy and its no where near the best quality stuff.
