Hi all.

I would like to place a logo on a carbon part without having to  simply stick a decal over the finished part.

I was thinking of covering the  logo(sticker) with clear but I will then get a raised section of the logo.

What are the methods other than just sticking a logo above the part  ? 



I have seen some logos on parts that seem perfectly "painted".  (see image as an example) .

I clear coated over the top of some stickers for a rc bodyshell once and like Hanaldo said plenty of wet sanding.

Also, I really like the way marsh powerhouse fab does his very suttle logo on his carbon bonnets

I'm planning soon to airbrush on a small design British flag and driver name to my carbon scuttle, and then a few layers of clear coat.

Might give the water slide ink jet method a try as I don't have access to a vinyl printer anymore.
