Thanks for this! I've started experimenting with the prepainted aluminum roof trim from the home improvement store, but your technique for getting a good painted surface will open up new color possibilities. My interest is in making nameplates and control panels for electronics, but the goal is the same. Very useful and well presented video!
Hi Darrell. I landed at your beautiful strip for the first time this afternoon. Enjoyed our visit. Just found your channel this evening. Your video i just watched was great. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thank you! I have been struggling to get black paint laser etched on brass. Cured paint and scrub till burnt residue is cleared. I thought the burnt paint phase was a fail!
Walter - Appreciate hearing this helped you, these inexpensive lasers can really perform - do a few trials and you're rolling in no time. Please hit subscribe if you've not already.
You should be using Amber colored lenses. The green lenses are perfect for red lasers, but this laser is blue and requires the amber to block its color spectrum. Just a helpful tip!
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. Thumbs up and subscribed - hope it helps. Could you do the exact same thing on your craftsman toolbox behind you? Could you laser engrave something like that and have it look as good as your aluminum piece? Thanks Darrell!

Yes, laser goggles $40 and above, and also an orange shield acrylic
First and foremost, thank you for the very informative video. Do you know if the laser will work with powder coating?
très bon travail, je félicite, bonjour de france.
