I don't know what the boot badge is you are on about, but changing the grille badge colour is relatively easy.
Remove badge by "cutting" the adhesive pad behind it with fishing wire, or dental floss, sawed back and forth.
Soak in Wickes Paintbrush cleaner for 8 hours, rub and scrub to removew the rest of the paint from behind.
Now paint it whatever colour you want: you will get a good finish because you are painting the REAR, so the front looks great through the plastic. Brush painting is as good a finish as spray in this case. I'd use Humbrol Gold enamel.
Refit badge with two of those pads used for numberplates and sold by carshops, HellFrauds etc.
