I have my "supercharged by stillen" decal on my strut brace and it's fine. Even with all the heat from the supercharger and believe me there's a lot of heat

vinyl decals will be fine. I use them under my powdercoat all the time, and that cures at 400 degrees F.

I have just the Z from the 370Z emblem from rear of the car on the strut bar. It's fine.

Interesting, did it melts all over your engine bay?

it shrunk and the adhesive changed composition...and baked onto the cover.

had to sand it down completely, re-spray using engine enamel matte-black.
turned out perfect though.

no one can tell it's repainted.
