I do something similar with the head badge, except it was "printed" in brass or bronze. That actually means they print in castable wax and then turn it into metal by a lost wax casting process. It comes to me flat; I file it as needed, add paint, sand the paint of the high parts, curve it to fit a bicycle, and... that's about it. Please don't tell anyone.
Too cool, Rudi. I thought for sure you wouldn't share your secrets. Thanks for doing so.
We promise to tell no one.
