Made some aluminum Christmas ornaments for a friend with engraved inscriptions.
I used black Krylon in the engraving for contrast, followed with clear powder coat.
Problem: the dried paint out-gassed when curing the powder coat, causing bubbles.
I was able to rework the areas but am looking for a better way next time.
I recall a rather inert black coloring used in gunsmithing that might be more suitable, although a search of Brownells.com revealed nothing.
Any insight or recommendations?
Merry Christmas wishes to all.
