Grande Punto Blue Fiat badge re-vamp

Tools:

• Blue Fiat Badge
• Some sort of thin, small 'leveraging' object (I used an old bank card)
• Abrasive paper (I used, P180 and P2500)
• Warm water
• Paint preparation wipes
• Spray paint (whatever colours your heart desires)
• 3M double sided tape (or something similar)

To remove the central logo from the silver case, simply warm the 'sticky stuff' up that resides behind it. You will need a little leverage to pry it from the silver backing (I used an old bank card).
Read: I wouldn't use a flat headed screwdriver as that may chip the badge.

Once I removed the 'sticky stuff' from inside I used the P180 wet and dry abrasive paper to remove the old paint and scuff up the silver metal of the badge.



After, use the P2500 to smoothen down the surface of the Fiat logo and remove any missed bits of paint.
This surface is now ready to be clean and sprayed.

Remove all the oils and any other unwanted-ness on the surface of the Fiat logo using the paint preparation wipes.
Follow the instructions on the tin, if it doesn't have any, follow these instructions.

1. Make sure the tin is warm, preferably at room temperature.
2. Spray in a warm and dry area, free from dust.
3. Shake the tin vigorously for at least 2 minutes to mix the paint up.
4. Give the tin a quick squirt on a blank sheet so unblock the nozzle.
5. Spray the badge at least 7-10" away from the logo, applying several even coats until you think it enough.

I used 3 thin coats, in between each coat I used a hairdryer to dry it faster and gave around 10 minutes until I sprayed the next coat.

This also applies to the silver part of the badge.

After leaving both parts of the badge around 1 hour to dry.
Polish the living day lights out of it until your happy!
Re-attach the centre piece of the badge with the 3M double sided tape, or anything similar, just as long as it holds in place and cannot be removed with ease.

This technique also applies to the other fiat badge.
