Stinking badges

["Robert S. Minton" <rsminton@voyager.net>]

Well, it's going to be another fine weekend here in Michigan, and I
thought I'd devote at least one of these days to continuing the spring
detailing of my Scirocco. (You may remember that last weekend I removed
the black decals.)
	Well, this weekend, I want to do something about my badges.  Basically,
hard winters and road salt combined with weekend after weekend of
washing and waxing in the summer have worn their colors away
(specifically the Karmann badges on the sides of the car, the VW,
Volkswagen, Scirocco and 16V badges on the back.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to restore these (I tried
model car paint, packaged conveniently as a marker, last weekend... with
only marginal success.)  And, aside from the 16V on the back (which I
know should be red), what colors were these badges originally?

I wish I could make it to Waterfest (too far), but I will most
definitely not miss the Toronto show.
