#1: Upper grille front badge Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 12:31 pm ---- So, I have just bought a second hand badge as above as I want to spray the lion and chrome surround.
As I don't want to break it what is the correct way to separate the Chrome parts from the black backing part of the badge?
Thank you in advance for your help.

#3: Re: Upper grille front badge Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 12:41 pm ---- What tool if any should I use. Do I just push the clips?
Also just checking is plastic primer ok to use?

#7: Re: Upper grille front badge Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 4:14 pm ---- Red. To match the red bonnet vent, mud flaps calipers etc. thinking a red 206info sticker for the boot as well.
Thanks for the offer but I am enjoying doing the work to doe o the parts.

Go to your local scrappy and get a couple of sets, firstly to see how they are attached to the grill and secondly to practice spraying on.
#9: Re: Upper grille front badge Author: Tolkienfan001, Location: SpaldingPosted: Fri Jan 04, 2013 12:19 am ---- I am happy with spraying I have already done the bonnet vent. Just not sure if it's plastic primer I need?
