So my 4 year old S5 caliper badges were more than a little bit ruff looking.
1. Take them off, just pry up gently at each end.
2. Sand down.
3. Spray silver.
4. Apply decals.
5. Coat with clear.
6. Install.
I bought all the stuff and spent 45 mins trying to gently remove them.
Then had to drill out the rotten studs after both sides snapped. Both lower pins had corroded and turned to white powder.
So I bought new ones, but the pins are not painted so it's no wonder they rotted and I don't want it happening again, my thoughts are clear coating them before fitting and copper slip on the pins unless anybody can come up with a better alternative, suggestions much appreciated.
