Need some help deciding here. Have different Roundels in different spots of my car. See pics.

Hood - thinking about just painting this. Any good sources for paint? Hobby shop?
Left pilar - pretty damaged. Left2 pic shows the replacement I sourced, it's a plastic one and the blue is a little too much on the pruple side for me.
Right pilar - same style as hood. But not same as left pilar. Are these raised roundels still sourceable?
Trunk - already a replacement, looks just like the one that was on before. Old one was completely peeled off to a nice chrome finish

Thanks for your thoughts.

not an expert but trying to help

Hood - thinking about just painting this. Any good sources for paint? Hobby shop?,

this is available NEW from BMW or Walloth, by 25eur

Left pilar - pretty damaged. Left2 pic shows the replacement I sourced, it's a plastic one and the blue is a little too much on the pruple side for me.
yes, the purple problem ! even the BMW new ones are purple, but they are not plastic, I think that it is enamel

Right pilar - same style as hood. But not same as left pilar. Are these raised roundels still sourceable?

these ones are the most desirable, difficult to find and expensive, as you do not have 2 in bad condition for repaint, i would try to find two purple ones and replace actual ones

Trunk - already a replacement, looks just like the one that was on before. Old one was completely peeled off to a nice chrome finish

not original, but a reasonable replacement, the original (2 piece one) is -NLA-, and pretty expensive, the problem is that is 2 or 3mm less in diameter than the front hood one, and moreover you will need the basis part that is NLA

Thanks for your thoughts.

as a summary, i would go for a new one in the hood, two purple new ones in the C-pillars, and i would leave the rear one, it is enough for a neat car (if you are trying concourse it will be another story)
regards
