Ok, quick question.....this Smurf emblem or decal that I'm having put on my strut brace tower....what the heck should it be made out of so it doesn't get messed up too quickly? I know it needs to be able to handle the temperature under that engine. Suggestions before I call this place near me and sound like a total freak of nature?
(I know their gonna help me but on the other end the clerk will have the "Are you friggen serious?" face going on!)

^ not vinyl lol
they can't create a stencil of some sort and powdercoat it on? that's the only thing i can think of. it'd be more expensive for sure, but you know it's not gonna burn up. |

you can't stencil and powdercoat, you'd need a high-temp tape that stuck on there.
You could use a high-temp white paint...similar to ones they use for pinstriping underneath a clear powdercoat.

Ohhhh......so this little extra touch I want will need to come from the powdercoater? Not worth my time calling anyone additional?

wouldn't the tape be perfect though? you have a black tower so you just stencil out w/ tape the smurf and fill in appropriate areas with white, then when you lift you're done...?

^that was my thinking on it.
However, I see no issues with a simply vinyl sticker. The temps aren't going to get hot enough to degrade it I don't think.

Several different options......I guess calling the FastSigns place and just describing my intent would garner another totally different opinion!

Although, I think if we told 2theX he had to go kill a smurf, flatten him, and glue him to the strut bar he'd go look for a place that said they could handle it!
