    Fair enough, So its a go ahead with the white VTR badges. How are the badges stuck on, Are they pinned on or just stuck?

    they are stuck on and leave locating holes when took off so i was told to get a hair dryer heat it up but not for long (you might bubble the paint) then use a credit card to lift it off
    then to stick it back on use double sided tape or reheat the glur already on

    I used a quater of a 400ml rattle can of Matt black, and used 3 coats on my badges, didn't primer or laquaer (sp) and they've come out great. Also did my wiper arms too. they look ten times better!
