Default Airbrushing/paint/engraving/etching question...

I have a set of valve covers that i want to attach a viynal decal too. Well, on further deliberation i have decided that it will most likely come off, and with polishing and cleaning the decal will just come off. I want to have the "decal" either painted of airbrused onto the covers. If not that i'd love to have them engraved or etched into the covers...but don't know how i'd go about that, since the engraving would be the same color as the covers and would not stand out. The covers are polished and i want the logo in black. Here is the logo:



If anyone here is good at airbrushing and think they could pull it off, please let me know. I can include the decal with the covers...but would love to know if anyone on here would be able to do this.

Please let me know!!

Thanks guys

You could have the logo engraved and then fill the recess with the paint colors of your choice. That's the best (almost most costly) way of doing it.


I can get you a quote Monday-Tuesday if you want to go that route.
