When I was cleaning the 028 yesterday, the Surfex removed the remaining orange colouring on the recoil cover badge. These painted aluminum badges have a habit of doing this, so I'm not entirely surprised or concerned.
It does however look a little naked without the orange colouring, so last night I managed to track down a new-old-stock replacement, which I will install once I get the saw back from the Stihl dealer.
There are a couple of versions of these badges, some say "Made in America", some say "Made in Germany" and some have nothing other than "STIHL". The original on mine only had the "STIHL" lettering, however I could only find the "Made in Germany" version.
Either way, just a little detail that will put a finishing touch on this project.
I may also touch up the black STIHL lettering on the sprocket cover, again the lack of colour contrast looks out of place.
