Black paint for badges

Post by conbs » Tue Aug 30, 2011 1:23 am

I have some original Dream badges that need a little touch up of the black paint. Anyone have a suggestion about what brand/shade of black paint will matchthe original well? Or what paint doesn't work well?

Thanks for any help.

I haven't done this but I would try something fairly inert like artists acrylic. Anything else might attack the plastic. I used my wife's paints to touch up a damaged speedo dial and it makes it easy to mix your own colour to get the correct shade.
