first of all start of with a normal ford badge
[Linked Image]
to get the middle bit out i boiled it in a pan of water to make the resin part soft. Then slowly prize the resin part out being curfull not to rip or damage it.
when apart it should be like this (but the resin will still be blue)
[Linked Image]
the back part should look like this
[Linked Image]
then you have to sand the blue off so it looks like this
[Linked Image]
then you can eather paint the bit were it says ford or you can try mask it off (painting was easyer)
let it dry properly.
then you spray the back side of the resin (so it says FORD the wrong way) the color you want (i went for red)
[Linked Image]
then when the red paint (or what ever colour you choose) is dry turn the resin over an it should look somethink like this
[Linked Image]
then glue the resin back into the middle of the other half that it came out of... making sure its all prssed down even an properly.. let the glue dry

then stand back and injoy ur coloured badge

if ur doing 1 u may aswell do the other1 at the same time

So Simple, but so effective.

Did Ford ever offer different colour badges on standard cars, even the special ones??

Saw the red badges a while ago. Don't know what they signified? Maybe homemade.
