Ok, I used painters tape to tape for about 3" in each direction around the badges (after about 1.5" overspray area).

So basically, keep 1.5" around the badge in each direction exposed.

Clean the badges perfectly, first with warm water, then dry them, then clean them with rubbing alcohol, AND COMPLETELY DRY THEM (VERY IMPORTANT)

Then give each badge about 6 coats. The first coat will have about 50% coverage. Don't go crazy on that first coat.

Time in between coats depends on the weather. It was 80 here today so I only did 10 min. If you're at 70 degrees give it 15 between each coat.

Make sure that you switch your angle of attack for each coat.

First coat start with the can angled down from the top of the badge, second coat angled up from the bottom, then left, then right, then a couple straight on.

Let it dry for about 10-15 min after the last coat, take off the tape (if you even used it, you don't have to), and peel the excess around the badges off.

It will come right off, but not off the badge.

Any errant spray comes off easy with the coarse side of a sponge and some warm water and a gentle rub.

Watch this vid. He says 30 min between coats, but that is too long, IMO.
