(No plastic is ever used.)We also offer several finishes for your “upscale” car badge: Cloisonne coloring and metal finish of your choice. We even offer 18 karat gold plating at no additional cost.Cloisonné on bronze or brass emblems were used on most cars until the 1940’s. They continued to be used on some expensive American cars for several years. Foreign sports cars still use them routinely. Cloisonné badges can be found on the radiator grille, headlight bars, side mounts, and in the interior as well.How To Order Car BadgesSTEP 1Send us a picture or a design.(You may use a scanner to get a picture of a badge for us to copy.)We need to know:1. The size of the badges you want. 3 inches round is the standard size and shape, but we can make just about any size and shape, within reason. All our badges are a hefty 3 mm thick unless another thickness is requested.2. The preferred method of mounting the badge on the car. Bolt onto the grille with our hardware or firmly affixed elsewhere on any flat surface with our 3-M automotive adhesive. (Should you ever wish to remove the badge that is mounted with 3M two sided tape, simply soften the adhesive with WD-40 and work a piece of Dental Floss behind the badge. The finish behind the badge will be unharmed.)3. The colors you prefer. (Choose up to four colors without an additional charge.) Please see our PANTONE COLOR CHART on this website.If your club does not have a logo, our artists can help you design one for your approval at no charge. We can make almost any size and shape you choose. Just give us a few of your ideas and some details of what you want and we will take it from there;  with your approval, of course.4. A slab of soft clay is pressed against the negative. This creates an imprint of the final product. 5. The clay imprint is reviewed by no less than three craftsmen. This is actually redundant but we wouldn’t want to stamp our hallmark onto anything that is not above the industry standard.6. Mold is de-burred and polished to ensure that no “noise” such as hairline cracks, dimples, and irregularities are transferred onto the finished product.7. The finished and approved metal mold is heat-treated,
