Coaming Bolster

[sidelock]

So I finally got all the material necessary to do my bolsters but would like to incorporate the seacraft logo on them. I have looked into embroidery but was told that the thread will get sun bleached and eventually fade in time especially dark colored thread such as navy blue, the color I would like for the logo . The folks at Sailrite said Sunbrella was supposed to come out with a special thread for the very same purpose some time ago but haven't yet and I don't want to wait.
So I'm looking at having the logo " pad printed " on the Midship vinyl I'm using.
Is anyone familiar with this process or had it done ?
Also interested to hear other alternatives.
