Flaking Bmw Badge - BMW Forum

samxdr · 05-13-2005, 10:50 AM

I just noticed the badge on the hood is flaking. Clearcoat (?) seems all but gone and some of the white portion of the logo is chipping. Probably because I live in Quebec, possibly the harshest winter conditions around.
Any ideas on how to make it look right again?

I was thing of filling in the missing paint with a thin coat of touchup paint and then clearcoat the entire badge with the clearcoat provided in the BMW touchup kit.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Yes... Why dont your get a new emblem??.. they are not exspensive and rather easy to install.

I agree time to swap that with a new one, its easier and no worries about not matching paint.
