Site Subscriber’s Chrismas Posted October 17, 2019 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Saw a green V6 today and the chrome badges were blinged in gold! Is that a custom mod or an optional extra? Has anybody seen one before or maybe this owner is on here? I'm in Torbay. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted October 17, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 It was an expensive option if memory serves, i remember asking in the dealers about the price of the gold stylised "H" for the boot lid on my Ballade many moons ago. Seem to recall it was about £107 + VAT and that was about 25 ish years ago! 😮 Add in the exhaust tips, front "H" badge etc and you're looking at a pretty penny for the full set. If you can find a breaker with them at a sensible price then go for it, if not then cheat : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bright-Gold-Brush-Plating-kit-for-Jewellery-and-antique-repairs/283320706433 You might even get enquiries from others after the same! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randell Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 My 3.0L V6 has the Gold Badges, and they look great. I could do with replacing a couple of them, namely the Accord Badge (the gold has started to rub off), and the Gold and Black Grill Badge as it's slightly cracked but I've had no luck in finding them on the internet. https://www.randelljohnphotography.com/Commercial-Products/Honda-V6/i-BK5XzNz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted August 4, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm not surprised you've been having difficulty finding them on t'internet, most breakers don't realise they are in fact gold badges and think someone has been busy with the gold paint. As such, most aren't offered for sale when a car is broken, you can guess the rest! It's difficult to see in this photo but have you got the gold tail pipe trims as well? Reckon your best bet is to either have a word with Stu or keep your eyes peeled on fleabay for any being broken then see if they have the gold pack. Given even the newest ones will be close to 20 years old by now, you may have to consult a plating company and get the gold replated. That said, you could cut out the middle man and just get your existing badges replated. Or learn how to do it yourself............. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig out your electroless copper plating kit Rich and then gold electroplating kit, you can electroless plate the plastic badges and then gold plate all of them! 👍 Could even start a small "cottage industry" plating/re-plating others' badges................... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
