Timing cover badge refurb

 The current repro badges for the timing cover just do not look right and so I decided to refurb mine. I cleaned the badge carefully (and quickly) with acetone and then sprayed it gloss black - all over. Once fully hardened, I then sanded the face on a flat surface with 800 wet and dry using WD40. Once all the black on the lettering and edge was removed, peek was then used to polish up the brass.

The badge on the right is the original that I have refurbished and the one on the left is the repro one. When polished, I then sprayed a clear gloss lacquer on the badge - as good as new! (it shows a scratch but I could not see it!
