Thanks Chris, the badges arrived yesterday.  Now all I have to do is figure out how to paint them like the originals.

I think a foam roller would work, rooling without to much pressure

When I made mine for the 170 I had a hard time getting the paint to stick and it bubbled in spots - maybe I needed more prep?

What is the recommended method of attaching the badges?  Rivets only?  Rivets and glue?  Glue only? As the tend to break over time, I would think gluing would give a lot more strength.

I'm going to use rivets as well. Does anyone know what size and grip range to use?

From the holes in the badge 1/8 fits perfect, I guess 1/2 long would be long enough

There is a lot of stress on the badges when mounted since the surface is not flat.  Be careful tightening them down.
