Custom Porsche Hood Badge Question






Hello All,

Years ago I bought a nickle plated badge from Intrepidagent on here but recently decided that I wanted to go another way and wanted it in a bronze colour.

It didn't turn out so well as the paint pooled inconsistently, so I blasted it off for another attempt and this obliterated too much detail from the badge to the point that the word Stuttgart is hardly legible anymore.

I tried PMing Intrepidagent but it appears he hasn't been active on here for nearly a year.

So, does anyone have any other sources of custom badges that could make me a bespoke badge or have a varied enough collection?

Rocket... that looks to be a 1994-2008 iteration based on the "PORSCHE" letter form and background dimpling. Probably find it at any number of Porsche salvage yards. Maybe eBay. Am not sure how the colors would be removed from it. Possibly Acetone---a guess. Is the idea you want that model badge naked of color and finished in metal plating?

Everything but STUTTGART and areas in the horse are still there. If you have a steady hand and an etcfhing gadget, might be possible to craft the missing areas back.

I'm looking for the chap that does these, but can't find him.

I found one on a Facebook ad, it was terrible. Paint looked awful almost immediately.

I had one from Intrepidagent years ago and it was awesome. Was hoping to have him make me another. But no replies to my inquiries.
