Hi folks.
I searched, I promise, but in this case I got too much information but couldn't find the relevant info.
I am trying to put a dark black mark on some stainless. I don't know the grade.
So far I have been able to get either a "translucent" very smooth black, or a rough texture brownish mark. The problem with the black is, it's smooth which is good, but if you look at it on a right angle, it's translucent and as you get off angle it becomes very black (cool effect, but, not wanted! ) . The textured mark is colored/dark at any angle, but it's a) textured and b) brown.
What am I missing?
As always, thank you all!
