    I thought I remember reading about someone locally who will paint subaru factory badges. I cant seem to find where I saw this at.
    Anyone know who does this?

    I have found plenty of DIY pages, but I need to buy the badge itself.

    i remember the post but I couldn't find it. it was a link from the national subaru forum. sorry not much help, but you are correct. it is somewhere in this pool of threads and posts.

    Yea, I have seen that write up on here and linked to legacygt.com. It's great, but I don't have the proper tools to get the rear badge apart.

    I don't want to do it myself. I need to buy a rear badge and I would like someone else to do it. The rear badges are a pita to take apart and I already ruined that one! lol

    There used to be someone on the forum that would do this for cash. I am willing to pay!

    is it possible to repaint the stars different colors too? I've got a two tone silver wagon and want to do my bag's either silver with the grayish stars or black stars (rings would be painted to match the stars)

    once you have it pulled apart, getting all the paint off shouldn't be an issue. You will just need a somewhat steady had to paint within the lines. or take your time and tape off the stars, since they are indented it should be pretty simple.
