Powder Coating Rotary Accents

I've been thinking about getting all my accents, and badges powder coated. Has anyone done this, and will it be hard to take off and put back on the badges. Also if anyone has this done and could post pics, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Powder Coating

I went by a couple of body shops and most of them said that powder coating the emblems would melt them if they used the same process that they use for most materials...being that the emblems are plastic....So one local shop said they'd paint them for me...But I've also heard that the paint wont stick if they dont use plastic primer.... But check out these rotary emblems


Check out this thread..... "Where can I get these" ....RE Gear Emblems

I've seen a vid where a guy had his accents painted or something, there has to be someone on here that has it done.
And those RE badges look sick

Can't powdercoat anything that isn't metal and can't withstand 400* cure temps. I powdercoat part time, mainly stuff for myself and friends.

You can use a process called vacuum metalizing here's a few companies that do this, although I have no idea how much they would charge. The first one looks the most promising to me check out their product showcase. That faucet thing with all the colors looks pretty promising.
