Moved to bodywork.

Just take them off, spray them and reattach?

 

[MadDog1984Sir]

is that a easy job? do they come off clean and reattach nicely?

I was planning to mask and plastidip them. Not tried it yet but i was intending to get wide masking tape and just cutting round the badges with a blade.

I think you'll struggle to get the letters back on straight once they're removed

@Samwakeman096 How did you go about masking the 'clio'?

I have removed the 'clio' but i assume it would be the same method as doing the renaultsport.
Just mask about half an inch after each edge then spray your plastidip (give it a good few coats), once dry then peel the excess plastidip from the paintwork if you're nice and careful it will make a perfect edge around your writing :thumbup:

I tried the plastidip spent the weekend doing it, ended up peeling it all off 5 times. Just wouldent peel off neatly around the letters.
