Default powdercoat question

if you powdercoat a part, then add a decal can you then powdercoat a clear over the decal to seal it in?

I wouldn't think the clear would work over a decal...as it needs to conduct electricity...might be wrong...

powder coating requires heat. most decals don't like it.

Do like I told ya

Spray the whole caliper with the base color you're going to use, like White.

Go by any graphics shop, have them cut the AMG logo for you out of vinyl, only in a negative (so instead of the letters being individual, you have one "strip" of vinyl with the letters removed). Use this as a stencil, spray the green paint, and remove the vinyl stencil after you're done spraying. Once that dries, spray with clear, and bake.

Honestly, I wouldn't even mess with powdercoating. Any good paint shop should be able to obtain high-temp paint...
