Re: Asking for a favour . try Foil Casting

Gary,
make a foil casting of the Right badge.
Use some thin kitchen foil.
Place the foil on the right badge and using a Q-tip, press the foil on the badge to duplicate the badge.
Carefully remove the foil and pour some 5 minute epoxy into the foil casting.
Allow an hour to cure.
Trim off the excess foil and sand smooth the back of the epoxy for a flat level badge.
Use the foil as the chrome look or apply BMF over the foil.
Test spraying some gloss clear coat over the foil badge.

Might take a couple attempts to get a perfect badge.

Search the SPH site for Foil Casting to hopefully find some pics.
There have been articles in older issues of Scale Auto on foil casting. Hope this helps.
