      Black badges

      I want to paint my bowties black. Can I just use Fusion paint for plastic or use another kind of paint? And do I need to sand the badges first? Thanks.

      i jus used primer, the cheap 98 cent gloss black, and a good clear. and yes i lightly sanded the badges to give the paint something to stick to. im sure a scuff pad will do the same job.

      Finished product. Tell me what you think. The front one looks rough though . Any tips or ideas to make it smooth so it looks as good as the rear one? Thanks. I think I might debadge the Aveo LS.

      i would take it off and paint it if you have the time, that would be the best way to get good results

      Nevermind. I just sanded it down again and started over. It came out good this time.
