Default Photoshop help needed

Hey Guys,

I am in the process of rebuilding all of my calipers and thought it would look cool to have the Stingray emblem painted into the caliper. I need help to slightly bend the Stingray pic to match the contour of the caliper. Can anyone help or instruct me on a bit of free software that will do this?

Thanks,
KO

That bend is perfect.
Can you post or send me a copy of just the Stingray pic so that I can make a stencil out of it?

Thank you very much,
