My original transporter badge was damaged, snapped between the TRANS and PORTER. Bobby-gg gave me another broken badge to scavenge letters from, so I took an 'O' and filed it into a 'C'. Also grafted in the 'E' and removed the 'S' from my original badge.
Stuck it together with PVC pipe solvent which works really well on this plastic.
After cleaning up I sprayed some 'chrome' paint onto a flat sheet of paper and dipped the badge face first into it. Hasn't worked as well as I'd like so I will have to fill in the overspill with black paint.
Dave.
Well done Dave, that looks fantastic

Cheers Bobby 
Had to re-paint it completely and it still hasn't come out as well as I'd like. Might give the silvering another coat, did go over the black areas with a coat of Matte black spray paint applied with a brush too.
Cheers,
Dave.
