Welp....I think I decided on how I'll get Smurf on my bar! Hi-TecDesigns suggested the following:
Lasering the single-color image into the powdercoat would be permanent, and detail would be very high (at least 300dpi, possibly upwards of 600dpi in some cases). Cost would be about the same as a multi-color sticker. Multi-color is still an option here through powdercoating, but the cost for multi-color would be high due to the large number of steps.
