Grill Badge

#1 Post by Lockie McKinnon »

With a little spare time lately I reclaimed an old PCA grill badge that had chipped enamel.
It actually doesn't have dark spots , its just the lighting.....Now I'll wait until it starts to tarnish .
It took a few hours ,but passed the time......better than doing a puzzle :shock:

Can't wait to see the patina look! Since you'll have to wait for that to transpire, puzzles may now be in order!

Stay safe...stay well!

Lockie,

WE have stores here "HOBBY LOBBY" which have all kinds of craft wares. I believe they have cloisonne kits if you'd care to try that.
The dark spots are where it was polished. taking off the molding sheen.

I acquired this one about 15-18 years ago. Loved the way it looked then. Haven't touched it since. Certainly don't plan on removing the chipped enamel.

I saw this when I was at the Porsche Experience Center last year and didn't realize then that it was just a stripped down badge.
I am not sure if mine will slowly turn into something like this or if I will have to play with it a bit more to get this effect.

Does anyone know what metal badge is is? Brass?
