I need a repop chassis plate making for my pickup, which is on a unmodded rover p2 chassis. I have a pic of what the original chassis plate should look like-  does anyone know anyone who has the facilities to print the design onto a bit of ally(originals are actually tinned brass- i can supply a bit of that for you to print on if you can do that) in an appropriate ink that wont come off, so I can then stamp and engrave my chassis no. on it? |

"Acid etching" is what you need to be looking for  |

ferdy, ive shot them a mail, just awaiting a reply.
my speedy, i thought acid etching gave a silver-on silver finish, the acid etching the surface and leaving it rougher, a bit like a sandblasted finish but deeper?

Ah yeah. My bad! I wasn't thinking straight today! lol Acid etch gives a 'relief' on same colour background, ie, brass engine plates. Ignore my ramblings and carry on as you were |

Got a laser printer or photocopier handy? If you want to try doing it yourself, print the text in mirror image onto some glossy magazine paper and iron it onto a well degreased piece ally or brass. Once it's cooled down toner is properly tough. Only acetone or sandpaper will shift it.   |

That's pretty much how people do the toner transfer PCB etch stuff. I'd probably lob a coat of lacquer over it if it's going to see much wear.

If its ally, you could mask it and anodise ? Or anodise the black area and laser etch the text back out |
