numbers on bumpers

How to do this? There is no 4" high flat surface on the bumpers. Paint on the cloth might work (stenciled), but might get rubbed off during energetic action; the cloth is pretty slippery. An applied number would get pulled off.

Right now our best idea is a transparent flexible plastic panel like milk bottle material. The number could be on the back surface and show through, and the panel could be secured with zip ties around the whole bumper.

Any thoughts?

Jim,

I'd submit this to the official GDC Q&A. If I had to guess, most inspectors would have heartburn with the covering of the entire bumper with plastic.

A fabric paint stencil is the easiest, fastest and must durable way I have seen to do it.
