l have a Ford Ka, and l recently noticed that the blue paint had come off the Ford logo badge on the boot, with a little bit of a trace left. It literally seemed to happen overnight! Does anyone know how it could have happened?
And does anyone know how l can get it fixed? Do l have to buy a new badge or can it be re-sprayed? How much will it cost?
Thanks.

 

Why has the paint come off my Ford badge

Not to sure about the new ford cars, but in the past the back of the badge was painted blue. Some times the paint can peel off resulting in it looking very tatty.
You have two options:- Buy a new badge from ford (£10), or re-paint the badge ur self. One advantage of re-painting the badge is that u do not have to paint it the same blue colour. You could for example paint it the same colour as ur car.
You will need to remove the badge from the car, my advice is to try & twist the badge, do this clockwise then counter clockwise. Eventually the glue behind the badge will brake & the badge can be removed. Clean off the old paint 600 grade wet & dry on a flat surface, then paint it with some paint from halfords etc.
Ja.

The badge is not''painted''. It is separating internally & will need to be replaced.
