help needed finding the right paint to highlight engravings
I that is cerakote, which I assume it is, you choices will be very limited. I would start on the Cerakote forums to see if anyone has forums a solution.

I used these: Paint in a pen ... though I have no idea how they'd react to Cerakote
yup - cerakote i was thinking silver leaf and wouldn't mind redoing occasionally if it wears of

on second thought - black would match the buttons nicely ...................... decisions, decisions
I've used those pens too. They work nice. Don't know about how well they wear or last. Nice idea though.

hey guys,
just wondering how the aluminide material holds up. thinking of getting a baps cover in polished auminide but im hard on my mods (i keep sitting on them)

One thing to consider w/ the aluminide. It too needs a clear coat of 'sumpin to keep it from absorbing dirt/grease/oils from handling it. A lot of the nice sparkly finish can 'disappear' once a clear coat is applied.
Not the best picture but I used Rust-o-lium crystal clear enamel (5 or 6 light coats) and I'm reasonably happy with it. I mean I like it - but it doesn't sparkle as much as it did prior to the coating. Someone used some other clear coat and complained it came out looking like battleship grey.

Would the polishing shapeways does eliminate the need for this or is it still too porous?
I think these were the polished aluminde (I could be wrong) and I'd say they are too porous not to have a protective coating.
not sure since none of our orders were for a polished product. check gdeal's bottom feeder threads - quite a few people there have opted for polished and might be able to tell you

Actually I watched a video and it seems they just smash the object with stones so I doubt it would protect anything.
ah! when we were posting about protection we meant from oils, dirt etc
now people have dropped their 3d printed mods without damage done and i think i could sit on mine but doubt it would survive under all circumstances
Ive dropped my alumide lipo bap box from 5 ft and had no trouble
Not even a dent really... They paint chips before the mod gets hurt
