Thats more like it
Best bet then is to just goggle 'laser engraving job shops' and the put the name of the town in closest to where you live....with luck you should find something local that will be able to sort you out. Happy to help source one if you have any problems.

I suppose paint filled engraving may be a better term. Yes I think that is it

This is exactly what MWStewart did on his Fiesta thread in Readers' Cars- I think it was the lettering for the AP brake calipers. But this is the way forward!

That looks a pretty good finish straight from the gun. We have a Karman Ghia in storage and whoever painted that has done a fantastic job, the point being that a good quality paint job really makes a difference, both in terms of looks and how it feels when you wash and polish it.

Blimey, the 'before' pics look like a better finish than most new cars leave the showroom with.
