Re: Cam Cover Emblems
I did the heat test today cranked it up to 400 and paint held up...although this is not a complete test as it is not warming and cooling. I decided that I am going to coat in high temp clear.
Also I noticed that the edges on the outer ring on some samples were sticking out too much, this was keeping the emblem from sitting perfectly flush. I am going to have them take .25MM off the edge and these will be perfect. This is a simple fix but I would rather avoid quality issues.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Well, I am testing coatings, I added the emblems to my 90 ZR-1, one side completely coated in VHT ceramic paint, and the other in wheel paint, but I did not coat the checked flag or the red.
So far both held up through a 30 minute drive...no bubbling, yellowing or other. I hope to have completed more coating testing prior to the final revision. Interesting note, the cam emeblem provisions from left to right, drivers side is bigger, passenger side smaller. The current version I have made fits perfectly on the drivers side, passenger side is slightly too large(which is why they are modding)

Looks like you need to sell a right and left side emblem to have perfect fit on both sides. Great work
