Default Derby Cover / Vinyl Graphics

No idea how long this will hold up but was just messing around with some stuff at work today. I'm a graphic designer and can make any vinyl sticker your little heart desires
Today I made this for the derby cover. I kinda like it. It's just more or less a stress test. Just wanna see how long they wil last.

Another idea I had... Does anyone have experience with "etching" metal? I know dudes on knife forums that have etched lettering or logos on the blade. I guess it's just basically a liquid you soak it in, to my understanding.
Any of those "in the know", would I be able to etch this whole cover and peel the sticker off afterwards? Then the reaper logo would actually be raised a little from the rest of the metal on the cover.
I planned on getting a new derby cover soon anyways. Maybe I'll give this a shot on the old one just for kicks and see what happens.
