Our Process
Complete Badge Disassembly
Every OEM badge is carefully disassembled so each component can be refinished properly and individually. This allows for cleaner edges, better paint coverage, and a higher quality final product.
Hand Dechroming & Surface Preparation
All chrome surfaces are removed entirely by hand through an intensive sanding and stripping process. This is one of the most time-consuming steps, but it ensures proper adhesion and a true refinished appearance rather than a covered-up finish.
Because every badge is hand processed individually, very small imperfections may occasionally remain under certain colors or lighting conditions, especially with high-contrast finishes like gloss black.
Surface Restoration & Wet Sanding
Each emblem is professionally wet sanded to remove:
- Pitting
- Rock chips
- Oxidation
- Clear coat failure
- Surface scratches and imperfections
Every piece is leveled and refined before paint application to achieve the smoothest possible finish.
Custom Paint Application
The emblem backing, stars, trim rings, and lettering are refinished using premium automotive-grade paint systems.
We offer:
- Any OEM Subaru paint code
- Any OEM automotive paint code
- Fully custom mixed colors
- Gloss, satin, or matte finishes

Precision Clear Coat Process
Every piece is finished using professional-grade Euro 2K clear coat for maximum depth, durability, and long-term protection.
This process provides:
- Deep high-gloss finish
- Superior durability

- Increased protection against weather and chemicals
Final Finishing & Inspection
After curing, every emblem is carefully inspected and hand-finished before packaging. Select pieces receive additional wet sanding and polishing to ensure a clean, show-quality appearance.
Every order is built with the same level of care and attention we would expect on our own vehicles.
