Default With or Without the Sticker

Just finished painting my Fatbob dash console. Trying to decide if I should reinstall the ignition sticker or leave it off. Any thoughts?

VHT Wrinkle Black from local Oreilly. Scuff with air grinder and ScotchBrite pads. Paint with 3 coats and bake at 200 for an hour. I have painted several pieces with this paint and have nothing but good things to say. If you check the website in my signature you will see pics of other painted parts. (Shift and brake levers, horn cover, belt cover and now the console. Can't tell the difference between it and the factory stuff at all.

Default Follow-up Question

If I do decide to replace the sticker, how do I "re-stick" it. I dont want to buy another one with sticky already in place for $17. What glue should I use?

Can you please post some more pictures of the console? I would like to see the entire thing with the new paint on it. I ripped my console off tonight when I got home and plan on doing this but am trying to decide between a flat black or a wrinkle paint like you did. Thanks.
