If you send me your badges, I will flock one and send it back for £7.50 or two for £10, any colour you like. I can supply badges as well but that will have to cost more.

Almost looks edible :D

Can you do two-tone with something this small? Or will they show up the different heights of these? (The gold stands above the black. They've been very poorly painted, although I've removed all the gold from them now.)...

I'd want just the area painted gold in this pic a different gold... Not the radius on the side of the letter, if that makes sense?...

So literally just the very front face of the letters? Yeah that can be done with some careful masking... bit more prep work than the standard H badges so I'd do these for £15 delivered back to you.

We have golden colour flock, we also have a tri-lobal flock which we can add to coloured flock and it makes it glittery/metallic looking.

Let me know what you think Nafe!

Would you be able to flock the black as well, or would that just prove too awkward?

Though thinking about it, I think it would look best if just the gold bits in the pics were flocked (Not sure what colour yet) and the black areas were just blasted/stripped back and repainted satin or matte black.

I could carry on and strip them for you if you wanted ???

I'll go check out your FB page again for colours. Is the gold on there?

The black could be done as well but I think it would look better with just the highlighted letters on a smooth black backround.

You go ahead and strip them Nafe, I will respray the black in a satin finish and flock the letters whatever colour you like.

There may be a pic of the gold on the FB site, but the thing I've noticed is that colours of flock don't look the same in real life as they do on a computer monitor, so what we have done for some people is taken a £2.50 paypal payment and then flocked up and posted some sample cards to give an idea of available colours.

The only colour chart I could see is this...

Pm me your paypal details bud and I'd be interested to see some Golds, silvers, greys, yellows, oranges etc :)

Even throw some crazy colours in there for good measure if you like ;-)

Ok Nafe, if you want actual flocked samples of all those colours (that's 7 times mixing/colouring adhesive + 7 times flocking + 7 times cleaning the gun!!!) I'm gonna have to charge you more than £2.50 because that will take a while.....
Tell you what, I'll flock one sample card so you can feel the texture and then I'll include small bags with loose flock in so you can get an idea of colours, for £2.50 - is that ok?
