hey tim,, yep the logo is painted on.. the tank was somewhat of a find,, absolutely mint perfect inside cb 500T tank,, i removed the honda logo on the side, chiseled off the rivets that held the logo, welded the holes the rivets left and then lead filled the valley.. then did base/clear coat in the garage ,, and then the tank just looked like it was too much green and it just needed something more... i came across this AWESOME customer painter in stoney creek named mike, he owns and runs mikesfx custom painting... i gave him my ideas regarding the logo and then he came up with some subtle changes and then , scuffed up my clear and masked off for the logo and worked his magic and when it was done he layed down 3 more coats of clear over everything so it's nice and thick and there are no edges around the logo at all,, i was very impressed with his work and it was not that expensive at all, and it really makes the tank pop... i'd be glad to give you his number if you ever need his help ,, he was awesome... nvp

Dave just dialing in my cb450, was running rough and 20 minutes later, no new parts it's an F'ing ROCKET !!!!!!

He's located in West end T.O 647-992-1340 and a solid guy.
