Our Finishes

STANDARD FINISHES
NICKEL: A traditional silver finish with a golden yellow cast. Applied over a highly polished brass metal, it has a high degree of hardness for long wear. Nickel plate will sometimes lose some of its luster with age.

RHODIUM: A brilliant silver finish with a blue white cast. This semi-precious metal finish is applied over a bright, nickel-plated base and is tarnish resistant. It will not discolor.

GOLD: A rich, 24K gold electroplated finish. A heavy gold deposit over a bright nickel base insures long wear.

 

DELUXE FINISHES*

FREE with any deluxe-finish badge, you get a free multi-color cloisonné enamel seal of your choice and hard baked enamel lettering.  Choose any of the deluxe finishes below. 

SIL-RAY: A bright, deep toned silver with a special baked coating for durability and long wear.

GOL-RAY: A bright, deep toned gold with a special baked coating for durability and long wear.

TWO-TONE: A combination of silver and gold colors. Badges may have Silver Background with Gold Panels (NG) or Gold Background with Silver Panels (GN). These finishes are available on all badges.

COTE D'OR GOLD: Extra heavy 24K gold electroplate. Has an extremely hard finish and will not tarnish or discolor.

*Sil-Ray, Gol-Ray and Two-Tone badges are specially coated. This crystal-clear coating is UV and abrasion resistant.

STANDARD lettering is filled with a choice of black, blue, red or green enamel color, leveled and air cured.

HARD FIRED lettering is filled with enamel, baked to a hard finish, and ground until flush with the surface of the badge.
