Acid etching color fill?
Will etching go deep enough to do color fill? Were you fill the etched away steel with paint?
Like the colored lettering on this? I know this is stamped or engraved but would it be possible to achieve the same effect with etching? j |

Sure.
Some guys do that to damascus. They do a deep etch, spray paint with Krylon, and sand it lightly to get an even surface with super high contrast. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |

You can certainly etch deep enough to fill with paint. I'm learning to etch and going too deep has been an issue. Go to http://erniesknives.com/default.html for etching tutorials. You most definitely can etch deep.
