Hey Ric.
The best in the world (IMHO)at accurately replacing the cloisonne on these
badges is Pamela David Enamels here in the UK.  Find them at:

The chipping and flaking usually happens as a result of tightening the badge
down too hard onto the shroud. The stress in the base metal causes the glass
to detatch from the base and vibration and weather does the rest. My
recommend is to make sure the curve of the badge accurately corresponds to
the shroud before you send it away. When it comes back put a bed of clear
silicon sealant on the back, especially around the studs before gently
pulling it down snug.

Regards........

Yes, I can endorse their work. They did mine some years ago and it came back
looking better than anything "new" that I've ever seen. Not particularly
quick or particularly cheap, but well worth it. When people see your car for
the first time, isn't the front badge often the first thing they look at?
And, if you refurbish your original, you'll know that your hyphenage(?) is
correct!
