I had the same idea 
But I want to put Faith sign instead of Giant and blue letters on white, just like in glory 2008.
You only convinced me that it would look great

Yes, it looks awesome
I'd like to ask You about your work: did You rawed the frame or just craped the paint with sandpaper a little bit?
And did You paint whole frame white and then blue? How many layers of paint do You have?

yep completely rawed the frame then when off to get etched by a professional etcher i then layed down white over almost the whole front triangle gave it about 3 or so coats then masked it up for the blue layer and done about 3 layers of that on the front and rear triangle. Then left it to harden abit for a few days then applyed about 3 layers of clear pritty happy with the result. If i done it again the one thing i would do differently would have to be thinner coats and more of them, that way could end up costing alot more though and this cost alot just to paint when your using small cans of automotive touch up paint.
