Default my new emblem

thought this was cool...a friend of my brothers made me this out of a scrap block of billet aluminum on a cnc machine at the national guard....thinking of putting it on the tailgate of my truck since i have a billet grille. He used the measurements from my grille emblem so it should fit. debating on painting or powder coating parts..any suggestions?

Depending what type of aluminum the scrap piece was, it may not hold up in the powder coating oven. I know some types of aluminum you cant powdercoat. Might wanna use a different air-dried liquid coating just to be safe!
