Just a heads up that shadow comes out MUCH darker than they make it seem like it will. Almost black.

Why not try some vinyl or tint? Then worst cast scenario you peel it off. Like what tearoffguy uses for headlight tinting.

Depends on what you are doing with it.
It would be near impossible to a logo,even for a guy with skills like tearoffguy.

I have tried to spray niteshade smoke tint on a nissan logo before...it has a purplelish hue to it That I didnt like.

Negative ghost rider. Pc cures at 400 degrees. Even low temp cure powder cures at 300 which is too high for most plastics.
