posticon Custom dustcap dilemma


Okay, so I finally got around to fixing my 16kv.2's dustcap, gave it a shot of paint and am now at a crossroads.

Before I give the dustcap a clearcoat I want your opinion, should I leave the cap just black with no wording on it or should I write something on it(like Team C.A.I.U.?)

Team C.A.I.U. would look good on it emoticon

Soon, we'll have all of these team c.a.i.u. branded subs lol. emoticon

Plain black also looks good, flip a coin maybe?

If you're good with an exacto knife and painters tape you could go over it with white or silver, or whatever color you want the logo.Wait for it to dry.Place on the letters, and do a coat or two of black black.Remove the tape once the paint is dry and do a clear coat or two.

You maybe apply the same type of idea with those little tiny stickers found at michaels?
