    What's the best way to clean them up? My right side emblem is barely it's original color, and the left side emblem was...repainted? A terrible attempt at gold that left it a light mustard color. Would I be okay with rattle can for a black coat and then a gold coat, with a clear coat?
    What do you guys think?

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    Just my oppinion.
    Get some gold foil tape, and testors black paint. Clear coat to finish, and seal.

    Reproduction emblems can be found at Reproduction Decals. Look under Badges/Emblems.

    Len has brand new ones that are supposed to be for the 650 Max but work just fine on the 550s, I've got a set on one of mine. And they're not really expensive, especially compared to list or some of the crack smoking fools on eBay.

    You can just replace them for close to the cost of gold foil tape and a couple or three cans of expensive spray paint.

    Thanks, guys. Is the 650 the only other one that will fit? I've seen RX100 emblems that look okay, but I don't know about screw hole location.
