Use SEM on Vyinyl Graphics?

[LeMarque]

I have a 2012 Dodge Hennessey Challenger Yellowjacket with flat black graphics coming in soon and there are just a few `chips` in the graphics; two black bars running down each side of the hood.

I had a similar situation on a Mini Cooper where I used either SEM or a similar product (available in gloss or matte), masked the hood and was able to make them look like new.

I`m going to Opti-Coat this beast and feel (hope, really) the coating will protect and prevent the vinyl paint from blistering or peeling.

Looking for some moral support and/or feedback. :unsure:

Looks something like this, but not exactly. The bars are about 4 inches wide and run the full length of the hood.

I coated matte stripes with PBL coating

Worked well

So one vote for painting the graphics?

I can tell you that my son`s stripes are already fading and marking and car is only a month or so old
