Tips for electro-engraving anodized lowers?
It's a question because I don't know if the time invested is worth it. I've heard of reverse stripping the anodized coating by laying on the positive decal (like a regular sticker) of the lower markings, hiding it with spray paint, removing the decal, then chemically stripping just the areas to be etched of anodizing. Then obviously doing engraving of the negative/stencil.
The reason i ask is due to push back on anodizing a raw 80%, or having to deal with FFLs.
Has anyone had any luck getting a custom metal stamp made? I'm in the process of trying to turn an M4A1 image into an .stl so i can 3d print a stencil and maybe use a rotary engraving tool. I've also considered a cheap CNC with a diamond drag bit.
Just looking for tips. Thank you.
