How Do I Get Logo On Composite Valve Covers I recently picked up a set of the Vette composite valve covers from another member here. I was wondering if there was a good way to put the Trans Am logo on them that would hold up well. I know a lot of places make adhesive stickers but I didn't know if they would hold up to the heat.
Any ideas?

in the sun, they really do look like pewter. but they're really a grey color. you can see the actual color better in the shade. either way, i like how they look.

I believe he's saying to use the TA logo as a stencil. So first you would paint the covers whatever color you want the logo to be. You then put the logo on and paint it what ever cover you want the background to be. You then remove the vinyl revealing the base color. Put a few coats of clear on there and BAM custom TA valve covers.

I thought about trying something like that. Any particular type of paint and clear work better? I always see high-heat paint at the part stores but never tried it before. I wasn't sure what would hold up well on valve covers.

That looks good to me. The factory finish on the composites is not a gloss finish anyway.
I may order a set of stick-on logos to try first and see if they hold up. They are pretty cheap. If they don't last, use another set as the stencils and try the paint method.
Thanks for the ideas.
