What is steel tattooing? Steel tattooing is an artistic coating process used in the high performance racing industry. A company in Boerne, Texas has perfected this process and applied it for Nascar, Drag racing and Motorcycle racing. It is used for logos and art work on the exhaust systems and able to withstand temperatures of 1200 degrees. This coating is extremely durable and able to be applied in black or army green. The colors can be either the logo or base color using the steel as the logo. Most logos can be tattooed perfectly. Only very fine details are questionable.
