Looks good!
you shouldn't have any probs with durability. Mine have been done with high temp engine paint for a loooong time now with no probs at all. I get a rare chip, but it's easy as hell to touch them up.
Still bright and shiny as the day I did them.

Another cool trick my buddy JROSEN did when he had his White S was painting the S on the S2000 emblem on the fender red to match the H's on the nose and tail and accent the calipers.
He just very carefully painted the chrome part on the S and left the base black like it is on the chrome emblem parts and it looked VERY nice.

All this talk has got me thinking of doing mine. What color should I use for my Spa Yellow? Will red look good? How hard would it be to make a stencil of the S2000 logo?

Hi Tom. I saw a couple people with Spa Yellow, they went with yellow. Maybe SinD can post a pic. Looks great. Black would be my second choice for a Spa Yellow.

Here's some yellow cali's on a Spa (mine!):





I don't have anything uploaded that is "ultra-close-up"...but these above might help you decide. I've seen red calis on Spa and that also looks quite nice. A toss-up for many...but I like my yellows quite a lot.
