Thanks for your thoughts! I really do not want to touch surfaces bent in two directions. Of all the LEGO stickers I have thought of and I check right now (e.g. Wedge 52031) that ight seem to be bent slightly in two directions are actuall not. These surfaces are planar.
I came across the problemfirst when projecting a circle onto a bent surface, e.g the new Artic Logo onto the Curved Slope 15068. The "normal" projection distorts the logo, however if you rotate the slope in a better porition the projection issue is not that apparent. Another thing is how LEGO prints them, positions them etc.
The real issue comes with something like the Santa Fe. But for this case the edge line of the front part is enough to do the job. And even if I have to extract it manually from multiple part as it is a STAMP case (as the MAERSK Engine)
I will try something along this path, "bending" a sticker along a given line. For sure there is manual work involved as well, but for a start I think I will be fine with this low-fi approach first.
