Where is the best place to get a replacement badge? Mine is really fades and looks horrible. I thought about plasti-dipping it but I'm interested in a good replacement as well.

Have it glass beaded, then paint it. Dont spend $125 on the ones that guy sells...

I'm not sure what would look good on a Kalahari Beige 951. Would plastdip not look good?

HICKS

What color are your rims, and brake calipers? plastidip will work too.

Hick's. question for you. typically what does glass beading cost?

HICKS

I went to a local powder coater and they blasted the crest for free. They said the old stuff came out pretty easy, and it took less than a min.

Edit: I was originally quoted $10 to $15 to have the crest blasted from the same people, but like I said above....

I have one on sale on e-Bay right now. (e-Bay seller name: poppyd11)

I have another emblem that I am considering for sale.

For a Rennlister, I'd make a special deal on the one I still have.

(Note to forum administrator: if discussing my personal items for sale on e-Bay is against forum rules, please delete this posting)

Agree. I had a friend blast mine and I used rattle can Blitz Black (John Deere flat black). I did buy a new gasket for it though.

I could see that being standard, but I would feel guilty charging anything to blast something so small and quick. Businesses have to charge money though I guess.

Jeff if you want to glass bead blast it, you can stop by the shop and use the bead blaster anytime.

I picked all of the red/black glass out, cleaned it real good, and used Testors model paint to re-do the red and black. It isn't perfect but looks good from 10 feet.

I have a new badge that is the newer style - from like a 996, where the badge is not in 3-d. The entire badge is flat with the same coloring and is the same size as the old ones. I will sell it for $60 shipped - comes with a new seal and 2 used speed nuts. Let me know if you are interested. I will post a pic of it (next to the original style one on my 951) when I get home tonight.

Here is a picture of the newer model badge from a 997. It is smooth across all the way to the slightly raised outline on the edge of the badge. The styling of the crest is a bit different, but it it the same size as the original for 944's and comes with new gasket and 2 used speed nuts for mounting. I'll take $60 shipped (to lower 48 states) for it. Part number for badge is 997.559.211.00 and gasket is 7L5.853.611 B.

Let me know if it interests you.

Not to hijack - but I'll take it if the OP doesn't mind.
