Badge restoration

Hello,
Does anyone know of a company / person who can restore a brass head badge please ?
I could probably find a photograph of the badge or decal showing the colours etc.
I have a badge which was left in the sun for decades and all the colours have faded out completely.
Best wishes to everyone,
Keith

Jen Green might be willing to:

Revolution Cycle Jewelry

I've commissioned work from her for over ten years. I've never been disappointed, or in fact less than thrilled with her work. She communicates great, doesn't over-promise delivery dates, and is a true craftsperson and artist. I don't know if she does resto work or not, but it's worth asking.

She made this for me from scratch:


She definitely also does color work, but this shows her level of artistry

Restored this one myself using overly thinned enamels:



It's not as difficult to do as one might think.
