Parts List:
Krylon "Fusion" for plastic, black satin
Krylon clear satin
Red Scotch Brite pad
Mineral spirits (wipedown)
Heat gun (removing 100 badge)
3M heavy duty mounting tape
Popped off the wedges, started with the ignition side first.
Scuffed it up with the Scotch-Brite, making sure to scuff the dimples, key opening and edges. This won't remove the chrome paint, but will scuff it up some, even though the "Fusion for plastic" paint says you can just wipe down the item with mineral spirits and spray.
After scuffing & wipe down, while this one dried, I was ready to prep the badge side. I used the heat gun on low setting, heating the back side of the wedge. Holding it plenty far away as not to ruin the badge, or the wedge. Slowly heating the adhesive until the badge pretty much fell off. Used some WD-40 to remove the little bit of adhesive stuck to the wedge. The badge is thin metal, don't get in a hurry and bend it when lifting it off. Resist temptation to push through the back side keyhole opening too.
Now both pieces are prepped, and I wondered how to support the parts while painting, and be able to reach everything without touching it. Found a couple of paint cans that were just the right fit to hold the wedges snugly. I could turn them any way needed including upside down.
I shot 5 coats of paint on each, waiting 15 - 20 mins between coats. I let both sit for 1 hr after the last coat of black, before applying 3 or 4 light coats of satin clear.
Letting things dry overnight, and will re-attach the "100" badge & stick 'em on tomorrow. Personally, they looked better w/out the clear, but we'll see how things end up after they cure.
So far I have about $10 and 2.5 hrs invested (only had to buy paint and scotch-brite).
Will post final pics after complete and installed.
