That's how I imagined it would be. Direct onto stainless I'm sure that works perfectly. I haven't checked the Leak paintwork closely, but I think it may be a three-layer process: base coat (bronze, or grey, or champagne) then screen print then (maybe) lacquer. I'm a bit concerned that wiping the screen print paint off the base coat without affecting the base coat at all could be tricky, especially if it has to be done several times. Doubtless it will depend on the finish on the base coat (gloss or matt) and how long it's been left to dry completely, maybe with a bake, before the screen printing is tried. Whether the screen paint (ink ?) is solvent-based or water-based might also matter.
