    This build was also finished a long long time ago, but I have finally got around to putting a logo on. The logo and the "winged V" are vinyl cut with a Cricut machine.

    Nice work.
    How well does the vinyl stick?
    Also, is it thin enough to bury under a clear coat, or would that require ridiculous amounts of clear?

    Two or three of coats of spray paint normally matches the level of the metallic vinyl disk I use on the headstock before putting a decal over the top, so it's not a ridiculous amount you'd need to add to cover it. But not sure how many wipe-on coats you'd need to use.

    They stick really well. I have use the Permanent and the Temporary - both stick well.

    Both the Permanent and Temp vinyls have a a thickness of 0.10 mm, compared to my sticky tape with 0.05 mm thickness. So they are quite thick. They do not have any coats over them on this build. I did not bury them TO with my STA-1HT build , they are well coated, but I quite liked the 3d effect.

    I will try spray coats down the line.
