Hey guys, my truck is an 02 millennium silver limited with the gold badges. Unlike most I actually think they give it a lot of character and are perfectly fitting for a japanese truck designed in the 90s. I also always think they kinda pop with the silver compared with the majority of millennium silver trucks that just have the silver or black badges (I love the black pearl but plasti dipping/painting them black is not an option). They've been in great shape for as long as I've owned it but my sister took it through the wash the other day and for some reason it seemed to have taken quite a bit of the gold off the rear '4runner' and 'limited' badges. There's quite a bit of silver showing now. What can I do? I'd like to keep them or get more rather than painting them black or taking the remaining gold off. Anybody know of a solution to reapply the gold finish or a place to buy more? Thanks!
Solution to aging gold badges? I actually like them

Agreed. And it will be much easier and cleaner to reattach. The pain will be getting the old badges off and removing the leftover adhesive.

If they're just held on by adhesive, use some fishing line to saw back and forth through it. Should come off pretty easy

It still leaves some of the adhesive behind. Which is some no-joke stuff. Even with a heat gun and adhesive remover, it takes a lot of effort and time. At least in my case it did.

Use gasoline. If your clear coat is good it will take the residue off in minutes.
