I put saran wrap in the keyhole, then pressed clay into it. Then I pulled it out and then baked the clay. Once it was dry I sanded it to the proper shape. Then I made a silicone mold of the part. Then I poured liquid resin into the mold, casting it in plastic. Then a light sanding, primer, color and clear. 24 hours later a wetsanding and polish. Attached it with a dab of emblem adhesive.
