Permanently tatooed motifs applied to the vehicle.
A regular tatoo gun may not work so well (One would presumeably use something more like a fine point dremel tool).

Anodising

anodised tatoo is possible, see 'Printing' section. [TomP, May 20 2011]

Yes but... why? Could not some form of permanent
ink-like liquid be developed, which be applied by a
craftsman using some kind of applicationer? |
|
| |
Yes, Maxwell (...but not as much fun as some bald guy grinding it on there) ;) |
|
| |
I quite like the idea of my car getting pissed and going off to get a tattoo in an unfortunate place. |
|
| |
In some areas I hear they use keys. |
|
| |
As opposed to putting vinyl decals on the car, or
spraypainting a picture of a dragon's arsehole across
all of the panels on one side, or something equally
asinine? |

There goes your anti-corrosion warranty ... |

Perhaps the body could be made of aluminium and anodised while the dyes used to colour anodised surfaces could be selectively applied? |
|
| |
edit: this suggestion has been baked according to Wiki [link]. Except I was thinking more along the lines of hand-painting the dyes on rather than printing them. |
|
| |
Perhaps there is some spray on clear-coat...so one could grind in the tat, then clearcoat over it to prevent rust. |
|
| |
Wax sublimation dye printing could work. It's what's
used to print aluminium soft drink cans. |
