That does look good! Any particular trick or just a steady hand with the paintbrush?

I had my door trim off for repainting the bottom panel, so i took the badge out scraped the silver off the gti with a Stanley blade then sprayed it with primer, then scraped the primer off the gti, then sprayed it red and scraped the red off the gti, then give it a coat of lacquer

Neat! Might have to copy that.....

you can buy them new but they are a little pricey :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-Golf-mk3-Anniversary-trim-badges-x2-GTi-16v-/221270623685?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AVW&hash=item3384c1c5c5

Geeez! Mine cost me £0. i used left over paint in the garage, but to buy paint would only be about a tener and a hour or 2 of graft.

I blanked mine off, makes it more aerodynamic

Hi guys how easy does the badge come out of the rub strip?
