   much easier to take them off mate. heat up the badges slightly using hair dryer/heat gun - this'll loosen the glue. then just SLOWLY pull them off, its a good idea to push using the pegs inside the boot as well
   
   then you just rub them down, paint them & lawuer if you want.

   sweet can you really t-cut them as that would be good as i am working outside and no plugs or nothing so a bit of a pain to get everything outside

   yer prob easier to take them off just be carefull not to break them but just t-cut them which is easier. Takes a bit of time and elbow work but is worth it.

   I used T-cut and didn't remove the badges.
   20mins is all it took, gotta rub quite hard but the finish was good.
   
   Use the original T-cut, not coloured.

    Good old wet'n'dry sandpaper, watch out for the blisters on the fingers!
    
    The top coat of Silver should come off and leave just the black, might be worth just using a tad of Tcut once the silver has all gone to get a slightly nicer finish to the Black
