Re painting Badges

Anyone any helpful tips hints to rejuvenate my badges before camping season?

I see a previous owner had a go.

The easy and expensive way is to of course buy new but I domt see any sense in doing so.

Thanks

I refurbed mine with satin black spray for the base and some lazer cut metalic sticky letters from fleabay for about £5. Fairly easy to do, you just have to be careful placing the individual letters on, it turned out really well.

I want to do the same, the ideas I have is to spray paint it all black then go over with a gloss mini roller ( good one not cheap shif) to highlight. Roll must have minimum but even layer of paint and steady hand.
Or I might get a bottle of masking fluid from Art or model shop and after the backing spray has dried coat the flat back and edge of display with fluid ( like CAD dont leave any gaps) then spray with topping colour. When dry rub/peel off masking fluid and have 3D lettering- longer job and much more patience required.
Must state these are only ideas so havent experimented let alone done yet.
Good luck

I don't know if the seller does all badges/fonts but worth an ask. Looks a really professional finish

Yes ^^^ thats where I got my inspiration from, I did refurb my 'Camping' badge with a chrome pen but it didn't last. The stick on chrome letters work well, they're just a bit fiddly.
