Yea, I replaced my scratched up Suzuki Logo with the bottom of a large can. I used heat resistant black and red it worked great. It doesn't have to be the 1500% paint either the 800% stuff works fine and wont peel.

I take that back, I remember I also used regular silver spray paint not rated for heat and that did not peel either.

I tipped mine over in the garage the first year when I was trying to put it on the center stand.   :oops:  :oops:  :oops:   Now it's easy!

I replaced the entire badge and polished the engine case where it was scratched.  The badge was only about $10.  The polishing gives it a unique look.  I saw a pick a while ago of an orange street fighter with polished cases .... looks awesome.
