Emblem/Badge restoration.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm going to have a go at improving the appearance of my tank badges before I fit them back in place.(Boy are they expensive).
I did have some paint that I was given me but I can't find it, I might have binned it as it had gone solid just can't remember.

Any tips as to the shade of white Honda used?

I'm in the same boat Ted, yours look in better shape than mine though with no wear to the gold anodising.  Mine don't need to be a faithful restoration though what with my cafe-esque restoration, they were jb welded onto the tank rather than with the clips so I assume someone has fillered over the tank fixings.

Johnwebley:
I seem to remember someone used the little pots of model paint,

Was it Humbrol?

I had some success using the little pots of Humbrol enamel. The problem I had was that the badges had been knocked about a bit and I couldn’t get a clean edge.

Good idea to use Hubrol  they might even do a range of shades !
