   this is prob a really silly question, but i just want to know if im doing this the non Irish way.......
   Whats the best way to spray my saxo and citreon badges on my boot? And what do you guys find the best spray for the job is? I want to spray them black as im fitting black jewel tail lights and black angel projector headlights, so thought this would just finish the look off.
   
   While im here can i just mention i got new alloys (street octane) to go with the black/silver theme.....so im selling my old wheels which are only six months old.
   Have a look and if anyones interested pm me
   Jules x x
   
   
   they have good tread left (nankang tyres on all four wheels 195/45/16)
   
   There`s slight scuffing on two spokes on one wheel, others are as new,
   
   
   Thanks for looking x

   best way is to t-cut them, takes a while and you get a sore thumb but looks nice. or u could paint them by taking them off the car and then using double sided trim stick tape to put them back on

   just tcut the badges
   
   youll need the usual if you want to spray them
   
   primer
   paint
   laquer
   wet n dry
   
   then people say use double sided tape to make them stick back on

   youll be rubbing the badges not the boot so the boot paint wont get damaged
   
   you simply just wash the t cut away when your badges turn black

    Use fine sand paper, like wet 'n' dry, and just keep rubbing the badges til you take the black off the badges!
