grille badge update: new pic
Some of you may have missed my late Sunday night post with pics of the first (prototype) 3.6 grille badge. Well, those pics sucked; hopefully this one is a bit better.
Jack, your Paypal idea is a great one; I'll check into it Tuesday. It's a go, so look for updates and contact info in the next few days! Cheers, Jim jim@paulcomp.com |

Can you anodize them in different colors? Will be sort of cool to match them up with the color of the car : )

The uniform color is how many of these badges look now, but I think they originally had the background area anodized (or maybe painted) black, to match the grille.
Like this:

Buy them, sell them

I'm sure they could be painted by hand. It doesn't look too hard.
Awesome badges, though!

Yeah, I was thinking it could be submerged in black paint, with a few drops in the hole of the '6.'

the way to paint them is to paint the whole thing, then sand off the letters (very much like you'd lap a shim on a honing stone). use 600 then 1000 then 1500 grit to get a good shine on them.
The BMW guys do this all the time for their valve covers...it works great. sjd
