The “968” numbers insignia on the rear deck on my Cab has worn with a lot of white showing.   I’d rather not spend $70 for a new insignia and it just seems wasteful to replace rather than refinish.  I assume there is some type of paint or marker I could use to make the numbers all black again.   Anyone else ever done this?   Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill,

 

Not sure why this was "invisible". It seems like a perfectly legitimate question.

What are the rear badges made from? When I had my Mk1 Jetta, I painted a plastic grille badge using Humbrol model kit enamel paint and it came out alright - may be worth a look?

If you care, Wurth makes a black trim paint that worked great on the black trim on my SC. Otherwise, just get some black Krylon. Remove the numbers,* sand, paint, replace. 

 

*I used dental floss and mild heat to remove mine when I went from black to silver numerals.

I have silver numbers too, thought it looked a bit blingy, but used to them now

I'll second the Wurth black trim paint.
