 I have painted my 1954 bike all black with lots of chrome. The only badge that suits every colour is red, a trade mark in my view.

The badges were originally red (centre) gold infill with chrome highlighted edges .
Just had Mine enamelled recently .

Cream or white on the edges will look nice,it will break up the gold. Old English White ???
