Has anyone had a frame sandblasted, made up a stencil of the decal and put it in position, ran a blow torch over it (causing some discoloration of the metal) then clear coated. Would it work?

there is this guy 55/Rad that sandblasted a pinarello montello with the stickers then removed. The bike has been posted in every bike forum.
