Hello

I have some celica badges and i wasn't 100% sure on how to clean them up. There is a faded black background and red dragon, I read i could use enamel paint to touch up those. The issue is the chrome plating its slightly chipped is some areas. Any ideas? I was thinking chrome-like paint maybe.

Don't do chrome paint. It's never really chrome and comes out more of a shiny silver than reflective chrome.
re-chroming is the best way to restore them.
