I recently laser engraved an electronic gizmo box front panel. The panel was finished in a powder coated light blue paint. I had no idea how it would come out and was expecting the worst (hardly visible/laser doesn't touch it etc.) but I was actually completley surprised by the result. The lasered logo/writing ended up a nice shiny gold color! It looks great (photo to follow soon if I can get permission to show it - if not, I'll make another panel to show it off).
Anyone else notice this great finish before? Is it safe to laser powder coated paint (chemically)?
I wonder.....if I powder coat paint a panel in black, will the lasered bits still go gold? That could be good for plaques. Experiments needed......
