Efini badge vinyl infills

[Efini_Dave]

I know you can buy the badges new in various colours but for now as I have the facility I thought I'd have a go at making vinyl infills for my faded efini badge.

See pics

I need to perfect the shapes a little still but I think it works quite well.

Also being vinyl I can choose from a massive selection of colours and effects from gold leaf effect, glitters to fluorescents and more.

Might do these for people if they want, they can be tricky to fit though.

That's fucking awesome! I brushed mine on with peugeot cherry Red paint they are awesome fair play but. ....... are we talking 323 price or are we talking fd price for these?

 

[Efini_Dave]

I need to double check the rear badge is the same size, I'd do two sets for each badge so you'd have a back up set incase fitting went wrong, the amount of vinyl used is very minimal.

Love that, I’ve just painted mine and it’s all shit and not smooth, would like a couple of these!! Great idea

I’d go red too for a few beer tokens, did think gold leaf for a sec after you mentioned it but nah, don’t think I could.

I started to paint mine and it looked shit, immediately washed it off and thought to myself I've got a bloody vinyl cutter upstairs.

Least with vinyl it gives you so many colour options and can be removed easily.
I might do a bunch of effects as I've got loads of vinyl so will update with pics once I've perfected the shapes.

I'll do a gold leaf one for shits and giggles.

 

[Simaroon]

I’d take a few different colours off you, love a sticker

If you get a small kiddies paint brush with thinners, you can take the paint back to the chrome will leave you with a nice flat surface to work on then si

Think I've got the shapes just about right now, although it does depend a little bit on how they are fitted. Tried a few other colours.

The pink one is the final one after I have fettled with the shapes and fits best.

 

[Efini_Dave]

Or perhaps fluorescent yellow

 

[Efini_Dave]

Still playing with them making them fit better. More pics

Rear badge is the same size which is good.

Is a bit of soapy water a good way to fit vinyls still?

I didn't with any of these, I used a scalpel to place the vinyl and if it wasn't quite right it's easy to lift it back off, I found it loads easier when I did my rear badge as it is still attached to the car.

Very nice Dave, I'd have a set if I had a badge!

 

[Spendyrx]

[JoeLanger]
