Tr4Tony Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 All Do note that Pamela David Enamels will make one offs or small runs, so worth a look there perhaps? They also do a beatutiful jod if you have an oe badge to restore. Regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjc Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Pamela David Enamels can do new badges, but they cannot replicate the thickness of an original badge so maybe not for the purists. They do, however, restore original badges not matter how bent or rusted with stunning results. Expect to pay £120+ per badge and a long wait. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi Tony thanks for that, always good to get two quotes on a job. Could you PM contact details as I have already contacted TLF. Cheers Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjc Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Andy badgecraft.co.uk When I had a set restored a couple of years ago it was cheaper to have new badges made than restored. Maybe about £80 compared to £120. I can't remember the actual thickness, but say if original badges are ~9mm thick new ones were about 5mm. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 The next question i have is does any one have a mint original that can be used to compare the new ones to? I would hate to get this wrong! Cheers Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pridewood Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) Hello, here is one in nice condition. It is my spare Badge. Kind regards Pridewood Edited December 16, 2012 by Pridewood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan atkinson Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Are you getting them done in the uk or the us? I may be interested in a set - there's nothing else original on the 250 so the badges may as well be impostors too. Of course then ill have to sell on the 250 badges I have.

Davidw Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I suppose the next question is how to preserve them? A coat of soft clear lacquer, perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Aside from cleaning and possibly waxing no preservative is needed on the repros TRF supply. They will look new until hit with stones or other debris in service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi guys - update TRF - $200+ each badge awaiting more info PDE - £97 each badge - Del Aug 2013. As to the price too much?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonjovi Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am sure i have a original spare badge for the boot lid,should i keep it or sell it,one thing for sure is i will take it out of the garage where it has lain about and put it safe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Jolly Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I had my badges done about 5 years ago by Gladman and Norman in the jewlery area of Birmingham. They did a first class job and for a fraction of the cost of the more well know restorers. G&N have been around for many years and have in the produced badges for the motor industry. At the time I enquired about producing new badges - they quoted in the region of £400- £600 to create a master,after which cost per badge would depend on numbers.

elclem1 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi Guys, Having enquired about the approximate price of 'new' badges and posted the information here on this thread it would be really helpful if those who enquired could feedback about the cost. Too high too low etc, etc it is a numbers game and in order to sort something out it requires input from all of those who expressed an interest. I'm happy to do the leg work but I really do need to know what people think. I myself would be happy to pay £97 for a badge and wait until aug for delivery! Come on guys let me know please.
