The recaro badges on my seats, the surface colouring on the letters is starting to wear off leaving them looking a little worn, id like to apply colour back to the surface of the letters on the badges somehow but not sure whats best, considered using model paint and painting it on but not convinced it will end up looking neat
heres what a nearly new one looks like
but im not paying 16 quid for some

for the price of paint, a small brush and some time and effort you might aswell give it a go. cost you £5 at the very most and if its no good, stump up buy the new ones and sell yours on ebay lol

i wouldn't use a brush, maybe a dense sponge and dab lots of thin layers on

spray them black and use a fine sanding block to expose the writing silver again

What does that mean? "almost stopped off" You had no intention of stopping you have obviously been down seeing your daughter and were in a rush to get home and get on the internet, I bet your leg was jigging all the way home.
You are so fucking weird I can't even begin to comprehend the games that have been present while you have been away. I'm so close to smashing your face in you do not understand.

thats not a bad idea either, but i think in place some of the silver has worn off completely.
wonder if a coat of silver following by a coat of black, then sanding would work. Trouble is i cant get them off the seat so would probs brush the coats on
that gold leaf wouldnt last five seconds
