best badge and script for painting black

[Haveacamper]

Hi guys,

just wondered what front badge and volkswagen script would be best for painting black?

I just rubbed back a standard badge and sprayed it satin black.
Didn't have much luck with the rear script though, might have to get that dipped and powder coated.

Are the cheapy ones plastic? badges that is?

any suggested companies who make decent badges?

I wouldn't know about repro ones but the late bay badges are plastic. I had an old VW badge and the rear script was chromed which is why the paint chipped off.

I bought a good quality plastic front badge from JK for this very reason, crisp lines and excellent for painting it was cheap but fit for purpose.
