process to the polished base metal of a badge. It is silver in

electroplating process over a bright nickel base. Rhodium can be
distinguished by it's brilliant white finish and is tarnish resistant. It will not discolor or peel from the surface of the
badge.

Recommended Finishes |
|
Leon Uniform recommended these finishes not because they cost
more (they do) but rather because they are simply better. A
lifetime warranty comes with these finishes. Refinishing is free
if required. (There is a small handling fee)
Extras listed above are included. Hard enamel lettering does not
chip or fall out. The finishes last forever. If you are planning
on keeping your badge for a long period of time it's well worth
the investment. The difference in cost is actually very little
if you compare durability over time.
