Hand Made Badge Replacement

Hi Jim,
Love Bradys gas cap idea. Could you make a set of badges with the blue background and gold letters and gold wreath? George

I love that movie.

And I love these badges! I've always thought bright blue badges would look good on my bright blue Fiat And here I thought I was going to have to wait until Fiats came to America in order to steal a new blue one off of somebody's ride.

Hi George.... yes, I can pretty much do any color scheme. I can also supply a none pigmented/color version that one can paint themselves? I have just completed a set of the F side badges one in copper the other in gold with jewels in the crown You want bling yah got it baby!!. Over the next couple of weeks I will be uploading a whole bunch of different color and material examples. I'm also working on this amazing looking gold mesh background for the hood and trunk. Biggest issue is to get the lettering cost and mfg down. I have also made a prototype of a raised embossed lettering on metallic foil metal background that shows great promise for something different. Keep checking in for further updates as I will be posting samples over the next couple of weeks.

Hi Jim,
Keep me posted. I will want to see what you have done. Thanks, George

Bling Anyone? here is two sample side F badges with the crown and crown jewels in diamonds and Ruby. One is a copper Base the other gold. Another color sample for Hood badge. Just playing with concepts right now.

These look amazing! I may have to hit you up for some custom colored ones once I get my Fiat painted! How much do you charge for two custom hood/trunk badges and the side one?

I think the silver and gold one look AWESOME!

[SpiderJim]

Thanks for the positive feedback. A lot of work and expense but the end justifies it all. Here are some more examples of bling and color tests. I'm now almost satisfied with the finish so getting ready to do production tooling and molds. Need production molds for final detail and consistent quality. FYI I now have the smooth chrome text and am able to do many background patterns and colors. I will provide color charts and samples and order info in a couple of weeks outside of the forum. How about a Fiat fridge magnet? Or a picture of your Spider inset in the wreath?.. Cheers Jim

Jim, have you thought about doing a black background and having red lettering and a silver wreath? just a thought i would love to put that on my car!

These badges look AWESOME!! I am a long way from the finishing touch these badges would add, but they look great. Was thinking of playing around with the badges myself when I got to that point, but you have changed my mind.
