    They're one-off's...I digitally modeled the badge, rapid-prototyped it then made silicone molds and poured them in hi-temp resin. Painted with Plasti-Dip.

    (I work for Oakley so I have permission to do this).

    I used Goo Gone to remove the crusty adhesive off the paint. Works like a charm and will have your "new" badges sittin' pretty in no time. :)
