Well, sorry for the delay. Here's a little update...
The first beta run was a disaster! Fuel wouldn't have a problem in the slightest to remove all the ink on the stickers, lol. So the research continued to find out how to make the stickers fuel proof.
The other day, I discovered that good all-weather stickers require an overlaminate. Basically a thin piece of clear film to coverup the sticker so the printed image is safe from the elements, in our case, nitro fuel.
Since I bought some clear paper along with the white, I figured, screw it, let's see what happens when I take the clear and put it over the top of the white! It worked great!! I made some up real quick and I'm gonna put them to the test! I'm gonna shoot carb cleaner, nitro cleaner, nitro fuel, etc. all over the sticker and see how everything holds up. My biggest concern is the edges. I gotta find out if the adhesive on the sticker will hold up to the worst I have to offer.
