Looking for Hawaiin badges...

[al cole'holic]

...anyone have a set of these in good condition?

Here is a set. Sorry had to be a smartass.
Wasn't RRX or roostwear doing these? Maybe those were decals. I don't remember.

I do them in vinyl, but as far as reproducing them in plastic or pot metal, that's a little pricey. If someone knows anybody that can do low volume sand or plaster casting, let me know.

OldGuy was setting up a shop this summer, he thought he might be able to reproduce some in cast. The originals I have on my boat are plastic and getting in bad shape.

That project is in the works, I'm thinking of using a resin-based material instead of injection molding or pot metal.

DOH!

I am going to try to make some metal emblems. There is a process that I am familiar with that involves a metal that has a relatively low melting point. It's kind of expensive but emblems shouldn't require very much. Plating could be a problem. The only custom plating I've had done was some small bow lights that I made for an antique boat. That guy had a $50 minimum and that was 18 years ago. Possibly buffing and a clearcoat would work.
My new shop will be up and running in a matter of weeks. I expect it will be a very interesting project.
