The color is fading nicely with the rubber coming through to yellow the white, and it takes to Meguiars hyper dressing really well. It’s been over 2 years and still holding up. A rough rub with water and a microfiber would remove the letters, though easy enough to respray. Pretty happy with it  I am happy to share the stencil file if anyone wants. Note that the flying shoe is not quite accurate, as I had a hard time finding a great photo of the 60s era of the logo (at least in the time I had to borrow time on my friend’s cutter).
