The trim doesn't but you can just see little bits of silver from the chrome of the badge.

Thanks
the trim is what I would do the badges being black isn't my thing
Yeah as I mentioned I'm not sold on them either, i'll most likely be removing them in the new year. It was easier to get them done at the time and then remove them rather than vice Versa

I did the Seat Grill badge when i bought a honeycomb grill,, thinking it would be easier to do before fitting to the car,, and yep i had the same "silver edge" after couple of days,, i think even usung a heat gun to stretch then shrink the wrap the sun always shrinks it more..
and i still have to do the boot badge but was thinking of getting anouther boot release catch and getting rid of the "S" completely

I didn't dare tackle it myself, paid a professional to do it but think the badges will be going back silver shortly. Love the window trim though

Certainly, I'm in Teesside and it was a graphics and lettering company on a local industrial estate called AM lettering and graphics. I had a couple of quotes around £150-£200 initially.

Good on you for getting a better price. I'm down in SW London, Bromley to be exact, so can't take advantage of AMl&g's services. I'll keep searching locally...

The badges are now back to original silver, they were simply an afterthought. IMO wrapping was a better option for the window trim all things considered.
Merry Christmas, take the rest of the day off

It's not puzzling at all, it is however a matter of opinion.
It cost £100 not £150, IMO vinyl looks far better and covers impurities better, plus should I wish to change it back removing the vinyl I'd imagine is far easier than removing/respraying.
Of note I've removed the vinyl from the badges which was very straightforward and took 2 minutes.
As I say it's a matter of opinion and we've both stated ours, the fact that they differ is healthy.
All the best!

Pretty much my thought process on top of the ease of reversing the process. Vinyl all the way for a job like this.

Thanks, I was not a fan of the standard ones, they're only replicas but they look the part!
