hahahah It took a long time! But I am better at it now. hahahah What color did you want them?Comment

I tried a hand at mine over the weekend - mine are slightly different to yours.
"SUZUKI" is raised, but insides are recessed again - so black outer edge with white inside and shiny raised edge - quite tricky to mask off. Came out OK-ish, but not perfect, so I will have to try again...

Wally, yours must be the same style as mine. if so you do not need to mask anything.
spray the whole badge black, then with some wet and dry on a sanding block, rub the raised outer edges of the letters down to bare metal. then paint in the recessed part of the letters by hand, i use enamel model paint. dont worry if you get a bit of paint on the outer raised edges.
when dry, get your sanding block out again and run over the raised edges till all paint is gone and you get a shiny polished finish.
then simply clear coat the whole badge......sorted.

Exactly the same! That is a great tip! Thanx!
I will try that - spend hours taping off - specially the insides...

Looks great on there. I just picked up a set for mine and will def be using this thread for inspiration.
My only question is my tank does not have the mounting screws for badges as it has the stock zuki sticker under the clear coat. What would be the best way to get those mounted?Comment

Awsom, your bike/paintwork looks Fantastic.
