What type of paint for Badges/Emblems?
I'm looking to accent paint the side vent piston/boxer emblems on my FRS in red. Such as this:
 I was looking for insight from folks who've done such mods on what type of paint you use and also any kind of coating for extra gloss and/or protection. There's another thread about customizing the boxer emblem, but I'm looking for a discussion specifically on the type of paint that's best for such applications and that'll withstand being out in the elements. Here's a few I've seen discussed so far: * Ultra-Fine tipped, permanent Sharpie marker * Tester's Enamel paint * Caliper paint Thanks.

I just did a full set of emblems for a 71 Chevy I am restoring, and I ended up using model paint from a hobby store. I'll snap some pics tomorrow, but they turned out amazing! |

I really dont think model paint will hold up to the sun....its not meant to. I would look at getting automotive touchup paint and a #000 brush from a model shop.
