The silver lettering are embossed style stickers with a metallic backing (thats why they look chrome in color). The rest was all painted and then covered in a durable clear coat that flexes well and copes with higher temperatures. The paint had to be hand matched to the powdercoating in my engine bay. The computer paint match wouldnt pick up the small flake in the color. I just searched for a custom car shop in my area and brought it over. I dont remember the cost, but I think it was $250-350ish
