Special Script Badges needed

Post by SpiderJim »

Some of you may know that I do custom emblems for our cars and other goodie on occasion. I want to do something really special for my latest restoration and need a little help locating certain types of script emblems. I need to purchase, beg borrow or trade for a Script emblem saying Pininfarina. I need one at least 5 to 8 inches long and proportional in height. I also need one that says Spider only bigger the better. These emblems must be just script and not on a background of any kind. I want to be able to reproduce these for mine and any others who would like them. Willing to do any type of deal/ trade that is mutually satisfying. If it is a loaner I will cover mail both ways and also re-produce a complete set in exchange for the loan. Any finish or color is acceptable as I will be doing mine in gun metal. Urgently needed if you can help. Thanks so much ahead of time.

Thanks but no. I need just a raised script without any background or plate etc. I almost had one off Ebay so I sent an email asking if he had two and by the time he answered it had sold... bummer

Search ebay for a Cadillac Allante Pininfarina badge... just the script, but may only be about four inches long.

IAP sells those, look in the back of the catalog. Might be difficult to find on the website. They are pricy.

To costly for such a small one. I want to be able to re-produce them. Found the Caddy one on ebay and it sold before I could make the deal. A bit small at 5" long prefer a little larger.

yes!! Exactly what I wanted. The correct font size and everything. I just need one so I can make a mold of it then reproduce them as required. I keep searching ebay but can only find the short ones. What is the dimensions of yours?

lol, was wondering where mine had gotten to, then tonight, cleaning the workshop, under a pile of sawdust and exotic woodscraps... there it was :-) whew!

It is 7 3/4" long, and about 1" tall at it's tallest. My plan is to actually recess it into the dash so it is flush with the paduak dash face.

If you DESPERATELY need it mailed, I can do it... (praying to Postage God not to bend it...)

PM or email me your addy...

Sent you a PM.. Thanks so much for the generous offer.

I checked them out they are nice but not what I'm looking for. My intention is to have a Spider badge that I have to make myself on the front lower fenders finished in gun metal to match my rota wheels... See pic. Then under the crown F badge the Pinin badge again in gun metal. Maybe one lower right side of the trunk at the seal lip unless it looks to much like a bling car.

Then I will do a set of my fiat emblems again in gunmetal wreath with white or maybe silver text set on a metallic red woven textured background. This pic is GM on the red.

The Ferrari 599 has one on each side that I find just perfect... but I can't find a good photo of it. It is about 5-6" and looks very nice.

I do want the one shown in the photo for the glove box!

Jaime,
The one your wanting is the same one I put on my glove box.
I think Jim is looking for one like it but it's a few inches bigger. Like 8 or 9".
