I had some that were way worse than this, and when I tried to wash them 2 of the badges fell off. I went ahead and pried off the other two badges, stripped them with aircraft remover, and then painted them using a 3 stage process:
Stage 1: painted them silver using the Wurth wheel color silver, several coats
Stage 2: painted them very lightly with a satin black
Stage 3: using a light touch, I sanded away the black from the raised spots, leaving me with silver emblems with black lowlights. This matched a custom emblem that I had for my hood.
I glues them back on using automotive emblem adhesive.
The look good from 5 feet away
