This is the original Porsche bonnet badging from my first Porsche coupe from 1956. I straightened her and gave her a couple coats of the unrivaled gold leaf paint that I’ve had in a mason jar since 1982. Good Paint that!
My father’s original Reutter coachwork badge from his 1952 coupe, so impeccably faded, received two spray coats of Swiss UV gloss varnish so that it maintains that perfect patina.
