The dude at the Auto Store said that his mates use 'Baby Socks' and slip them over the alloy knobs to keep them cool. Not sure if I would own up to that LOL. Cheers BenJ

I could say more but I might embarrass you. Ben, I love the Ford badge, did the one from the UK come in a bag with the part number on it? Would be nice to see how much they would be here? |

Cheers BenJ I use a stubby holder ho keep my shifter cool  preferably a ford one  Badge blends in nice with the car mate. I was told once you can make a ford badge any colour you want, just by gently taking off the blue paint from the back and then spraying it any colour you want. Cheers |

I was told once you can make a ford badge any colour you want, just by gently taking off the blue paint from the back and then spraying it any colour you want. Well, NO! I ripped apart the second new badge I got, and the blue is part of the resin. There is no way to change the colour without using new resin, and that starts to get real messy when you play with that stuff. Cheers BenJ

how about a light sand/grind til you hit clear...add some black paint; touch up the silver edgeing.... bang..done?????
if the badge is too thin, wrap some tape around the outer edge, then fill with fibreglass to desired thickness...... |
