Anyone know how they are able to paint the engraved designs in aluminum? I have seen this, but do not know how it is done. Example: Custom valve covers are easily milled with a design with cad/cam, but a few sites I have seen on the web show these designs on the valve covers painted different colors. It's easy to engrave a design on aluminum that is anodized, then you have a silver design with an anodiozed background. What I want is when the design is milled, I can paint over this......then peel off a coating from over spray. Is there some kind of non-permanent adhesive you can put over stuff like this and mill the design and paint ONLY what you mill? Then remove the adhesive to have the rest of the polished aluminum not ruined from the overspray?
I hope I explained this right. Hard to explain something you have no idea if they make anything like this :confused:
