Finally an update! I've finally picked a gold paint that I think looks the best next to the factory gold badges. I plan on clear coating them in a 2 part gloss so that they are durable. I hope to be able to do the gold numbers in batches since the 2K clear only has a pot life of 2 days and a can is relatively expensive. Here are a couple pictures of the gold badge I made for my dad's 71T pre-clear.
