There is a bloke in Perth who is in the process of having these and EK front guard Special scripts remade - I believe he has received first copies and once he is happy with the quality he will have a run of them done.

I have made probably 20 of those and had them chromed over the years. I may have one at home but only in resin finish. The chrome plater closed up and I wouldn’t be confident someone else could successfully chrome plate resin.

I can have a look to see what I have if your happy with resin finish. Pic of what I’ve made for ref.

Sounds promising, is the "bloke in Perth" on this forum?

The picture of the badge on my Ute was painted in silver enamel probably 7-8 yrs ago.

Regards
Stephen

My wife is a resin artist/resin caster and this would be right up her alley. Don't think I would go down the chroming route, but she could do a decent pearl effect.
