It will do this over time if you use wax it may stay around a bit longer but the Cloisonn

Steve you may want to try some clear finger nail polish. it may seal the peel and conformally coat your badge.

David,
Does Lilly know you are stealing her nail polish? You are a brave man because I know she is tougher than you. :->
Dusty and LMS
Dusty, what Lili doesn't know won't hurt her... LOL.. Hey are you and the Lovely Miss Sharon coming out here for the drive up again, or are you joining us in Morro?

Testors makes model enaml model paints in about 200 colors. If you can't getTestorsover there, you probably can get Tamaya. Theirs are water-thinned, but once they're dry, they're vary durable.
Hit the badge's painted areas with a clear-coat spray, and you shouldn't have any more problems. You'll be in even better shape if you can bake the enamel paint on -- try it with something you don't care about first, though. One of those cheesy faux-German road tax emblems, perhaps.

This is the Shift Know that I made with a Colisonne Crest from a key fob. I inlet the crest and glued it in with clear epoxy and then used some to coat and seal it.

Dang, Robert! That shift-knob turned out pretty nice!
Hey Jim......Shift this....
Jim,
I am coming into this thread late but to answer your question .. No, we are not joining you on the drive up to Morro. (note saddness here). We are getting in early to check with the CofC, the parade people and the restaurants to be sure everything is set up for a smooth time. I plan on doing NOTHING after we get there. The Lovely Miss Sharon (LMS) will be handing out and lettering badges; Tour leaders will be leading; Cristine (Theron's wife) will be collecting the surprise gifts and handing out drawing stubs; the restaurant people will be serving food and drinks and I will be doing .... NOTHING !!! Now you can see my basic lazy nature, don't spread it around.
Happy Trails,
Dusty and the overworked Lovely Miss Sharon
