Subject: [Shop-talk] Dye-ing stainless steel

My wife asked for a monogrammed Yeti cup--you know, those stainless =
steel cups that keep ice cool forever.=20

Got the cup, had it monogrammed. I am a hero.

Monogram is so 'shallow' into the stainless that it's almost impossible =
to see. You can catch your fingernail on it, but just barely.

I was going to have at it with a Sharpie, then wipe off the excess, but =
I don't know if that'll do it--if it wipes off the surrounding metal, =
why won't it wipe off the engraved part, too? I doubt the cut is deep =
enough to hold paint, but I might try that.

Thought you guys might have advice on how to get this to stand out.

Thanks in advance.

Scott

The Lotus guys do what you're talking about with enamel hobby paint and it
comes out pretty nice:

Cheap enough to give it a shot:
