COMMENTS: Mask first if planning to paint fill.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Laser engraving this type of material produces spectacular results especially when the
engraved area is paint filled. If paint filling, it is a good idea to mask first and then engrave
through the masking. In this way, when ready to paint fill, the material is already masked.
Spray painting seems to be the easiest. Using a paint brush is acceptable but time consuming.
Use the paint sparingly. Excess paint can accumulate on the edges of the engraving which will
make mask removal difficult and leave unsightly ridges. It is best to apply several lighter coats
than one heavy coat of paint. Remove the masking after the paint has dried. Engraving this
material without paint filling can work but most of the time there is very little contrast which
makes the engraved area difficult to see.
