I would like to offer an option for those of you who would like a cloisonne <br>
badge but due to cost and/or availability are contemplating re-painting <br>
their badges. I have attached a photo of my badge but I could not get it to <br>
show what I wanted you to see. I could see it with my eyes but the camera <br>
didn't.<br>
<br>
I found a product that was what I considered very close to the original <br>
color but in addition had a clear appearance and a very small metal flake <br>
content. When freshly painted, I believe that you would have to look twice <br>
and close up to see that it was not cloisonne.<br>
<br>
The product is nail polish. Scherer brand. #56, Blackberry. Purchased at <br>
a Rite Aid pharmacy. I can not assure you that this product is still <br>
available. I purchased it several years ago and I do not have time to <br>
Google it for you..<br>
<br>
I tape off everything except the lettering and the frames around the <br>
lettering and spray paint the lettering, frames, and the background using a <br>
craft type sprayer. I then use a cloth with little or no nap with thinner <br>
(acetone for nail polish?) applied, wraped around something that spans the <br>
letters and frames, and remove the polish from the top surfaces. The <br>
lettering and the frames are the same height so you only touch the high <br>
surfaces and do not touch the background. Even using paint, I think the <br>
process would be the same.<br>
<br>
As with any product exposed to the weather and road grit, it will dull <br>
eventually. Having done it once, the next time is easier.<br>
