Where's everyone getting their badges?

As mentioned above, I'm having a tough time finding a rear ST badge in the proper OEM rear badge size, in a black/silver.

I've looked on ebay and aliexpress. I've read that people who went to ST Academy could choose one. Any other way to get one? Are there OEM Ford ST badges in different colors (I know you can get red replacement ones)?

Anyone find one?

I think it was probably your post I read - that looks great. I want an OEM-sized black and silver ST badge to put on the right side of my hatch, where it will sit above the mountune badge, once I purchase the MP215

Why not just paint the red one you have? Cheap solution and it's guaranteed to be the right size.

This was going to be my final solution, but if I could find one already made with 2-way tape sized tidily and ready to go, I:

- wouldn't have to worry about damaging the OEM badge during removal (for painting, and for relocating to the right side of the hatch ala UK FiST)
- wouldn't have to worry about applying new 2-way tape to the existing badge (I might be sloppy)
- risk ruining the badge during taping off/painting black (I don't have a lot of experience with this)

It was just for convenience, and the fact I'm inexperienced with fine paint jobs. I also didn't expect it to be this difficult to find a 4.5 inch ST badge in a different color (even the only red ones I can find seem to be OEM Ford parts!)

I have a paint stick of tuxedo black, do you think I'd be able to paint it with that (using a fine brush, of course)? Would you tape off the chrome? I don't know how I'd do it cleanly. Could a vinyl business cover it for me?

Thanks for believing in me.

I've emailed the parts manager at my dealership to see about a replacement red ST badge in case I blow it.

I've got my heart set on this colour combo, so I'm going to try painting it in a few weeks. I leave the country this weekend.
