Anyone have any idea how i can get the etched part to be darker? i saw a tutorial where they painted then sanded of the unwanted but my etch isnt very deep so i dont think that would work. i want it to look a bit more uniform. the method i used to etch left it a bit uneven but i dont mind that just want it to be more noticeable.maybe even a bit weathered. again i have no experience with weathering so some help would be nice. thanks
If you use a metal polish, the black 'dirt' it brings out will darken etching if you rub it in. If that makes sense
yea it does never thought of that. i wish i could make a chassis like you Greenie. the saber in your sig is awesome. i would love to be able to pull that much detail off.
Thank you Thalan.
well my amber Led is on its way so i will post pics when it makes it here
Hey does anyone know where I can get another retention nut for a 12mm av switch? Mine kinda went down the vent. Hoping I can find one in a hardware store cause I dont want to have to order a new switch just for the nut.
Hardware store should have one. Ace Hardware seems to have a better selection of nuts and bolts than the big-name stores (Lowes, Home Depot).
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

cool there is one right by my house
added new photo with the amber cree i got today. man it is so bright. that is a fully lit room and it blew out the camera. i love the nice yellow/gold color it gives me
Man this is an ever evolving etch project. i just keep thinking of things i want to add. here are some photos of it with the newest etching and a working switch ring(finally)
