Some people have vinyl wrapped the Mini badges. They looked good. If you got a good coat of paint on the Cooper badge it would probably look just fine as well.

Maybe try the fusion paint on the emblems? As long as they are plastic...

What color are you thinking? I know people have gotten them vinyl-wrapped (black and CF)...

How much are you thinking for them? If its expensive, that'll be more incentive to not screw it up!!

What kind of adhesive is recommended when replacing emblems/letters after painting?

I painted mine...krylon fusion and some clear



I used some heavy duty outdoor double stick tape...looked for thin stuff to keep the profile down...pain in the butt tho to cut out to fit emblems, but not go past, but well worth it

For some odd reasons

I've been looking at different double stick tapes. You can get it with any strength from a bit stronger than blue painters tape to some that is suggested as a replacement for rivits or welding! If anyone wants a small selection of tapes (I think I got four in varying strength) shoot me a PM... I've got a couple pieces of non-sticky paper that I think I can stick a bit on....

Matt

ps, all mine are 3/4" wide....
