Help Requested (photo blowing up and sharpening)

DeliriousClam

So I'm getting ready to start re-finishing my 2015 Nismo bumper again and decided I'm doing to shave the emblem. However, I want to replace the emblem with a vinyl sticker (bonus points if you can guess what the emblem is from) but unfortunately I cannot find a larger example of it. I'm looking to keep the same photo aspect ratio but with an image height of about 6-6.5". If someone can use their photoshop-fu to do this for me, I'll be extremely grateful (might even paypal you some cash.)

I have one version original size and one I already blew up.

I would have it painted on (pin stripe).

The vinyl shop can easily convert and scale this when they cut the sticker.

Yep. They have to convert it to a vector graphic first anyway for the plotter. At that point they can scale without losing any definition. Just give them the image and tell them what size you want it. Easy peasy!

No problem - post up the process when you shave the emblem. I picked up a freebie rear bumper yesterday and want to do the same thing..but it seems a little more complex for flexible plastic panels than just slathering on some bondo and calling it a day.

I gotta do repairs to the entire bumper. Someone hit it in a parking lot last August and I'm just getting around to fixing it now. Dropping it off today to get media blasted to remove all the old paint and primer.

But will do

I was going to try this method for paint removal:

tried it, didn't work. Bumper looks like a mess because of it. 2 cans of that paint stripper costs almost as much as the media blasting is going to. The media blasting is going to cost $50 and saves me time. Find someplace near you that does soda blasting

I'll try to get a picture of it's current messed up state so you can see what that paint stripper did to it. Then once I get it back I'll take another picture

That looks undesirable.

Yep. Exactly why I opted for media blasting. May end up a little more expensive but the quality of the job and time saved is worth it imo
