    Hi guys, I’m looking to have a few custom grille badges made and striking out with no luck. Anybody have any insight on where I could get this done? Thanks in advance!

  5. It would be helpful if you could post a couple examples of what you have in mind.... 'grille badges' could cover a lot of ground. There are a ton of super talented people on here that may be better able to offer advice/sources if they knew what your expectations are.

    As '28 points out you need to get a little more specific. Grill badges come in cast metals, (br***, aluminum etc.), stampings, hand painted, vitreous gl***, etc. The more you order, the less per piece they cost. What exactly are you looking for and how many do you need?

    You could photoetch some br*** or aluminum then apply some enamel, especially if it's for a one off.

    Or a good-reputation hobbyist, maybe from Etsy, if you can't find one sorta-local? IDK...

    Paul (wex65) posted this on the Gentlemans Coupe build, as I remember a started with a '32 Ford Bob Drake emblem and sandblasted it and then had it etched by a engraver. HRP
