I’m thinking the same and I’ll just remove the logo. That will be a vast improvement on is own. I’m not confident that I could do it without the edges bleeding.

I painted the HONDA logo on the back of my new seat today using the stencil and the TRG paint and it's an absolute mess! The paint has bleed into the grain of the vinyl over the whole seat, I'm going to have to use a bottle of varnish remover to get it off. I really don't think I'll bother trying to paint it again (I don't have another stencil for starters) and the chances are it will do the same again. I went over the stencil with a roller to make sure it was properly stuck down but it obviously can't get into the grain of the vinyl to seal it and the paint being thin bleeds into it.

I have a spare stencil if you want to try again Dave. Pretty sure Julie has a technique for applying the dye.
Laverda Dave:
Thanks Ash. Is it the smaller stencil? Piki sent me two stencils, one short and one slightly longer. When I compared them to my original honda seat it was the smaller one I needed to use.
Let me know the cost and I'll use PayPal F&F.
If Julie knows of a method to avoid paint bleeding that would be great. I thought all was well as I was leaving the paint for 30 minutes between coats but as it is very thin it took four coats. It wasn't until I peeled the stencil off the mess was revealed :-[
Laverda Dave:
Don't look too closely!
