Badge rechroming
Does anyone know where or how to rechroming the black plastic badges on the tailgate? My chrome lettering is the worse for wear after 30+ years in the elements. Also how do you remove them?

Re: Badge rechroming
Thanks, just found one on brickwerks but currently out of stock. Quite like the idea of refurnishing the original badges, also replacement new badges, if avaliable, could total about £80...

I have a perfect transporter badge that i fitted new and removed a few years later. They are held on with 3 studs and also a sticky strip at one end.

Hi all
Also after a 'transporter' badge for back end. Don't mind about it looking tired as it will be sanded and sprayed black.
Would just like with the 3 pins and no cracks etc
Thanks all

Re: Badge rechroming
I saw a thread somewhere recommending these chrome pens, I can't remember if it was on here or elsewhere

Yes that looks good and would be interested to see how it goes, I found this which is an interesting approach to refurbing the badges http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/105828
