Good to know about Grateful Fred
Grateful Fred’s badges are not bumper stickers, magnets or vinyl clings: they are three-dimensional, chrome-plated raised letters, numbers or symbols made to the automotive industry standard of chrome-plated ABS plastic, designed to blend with the factory chrome badges on most cars. They use 3M automotive-grade adhesive, which is safe on painted surfaces and safe to remove while staying put for as long as the buyer wants. The badges are made cars first but can be applied to any smooth, flat surface such as record players, coolers, instruments and key fobs. Grateful Fred also works with brands and bands on custom badges, with a minimum initial order of 1000 units.
