Enamel badge restorations

Post by carlbon71 »

Can anyone recommend a bonnet badge re-enamelling specialist?
I know that Heywood enamels in Australia have been mentioned previously, but I can't get an answer from them, and there must be someone closer to London/SE England

I used Pamela David a few times (although it was ~20 years ago !) to restore an enamel badge & also to make a one-off enamel bonnet badge to my design. In both cases the end results were stunning.

It might be worth a try:

Allan closed up his business over a year ago - I think he retired which is a great pity as he did some nice work

Rumour has it that Porsche will be re-manufacturing the correct coloured early badge again.
