So its a very rare occasion that I actually do any laser engraving for myself. Being a business owner it seems our focus is always on the customer. And rightly so, customers do come first, however today I got an opportunity to do a small project for myself.
Just recently I bought a new truck and decided I wanted to put a Hitch Cover Plate on my Hitch. I had been looking around and nothing really caught my eye. Yes there were they typical Wichita State, KU, and K-State Hitch covers that stores were demanding a premium for but I didn't want to go that rou
te. I really didn't know what I wanted until I stopped into the store Truck Stuff in downtown Wichita, not far from where I live. They were selling stainless steel hitch covers for $11 and so I bought one.
My idea was to put my MBJD Laser logo on the hitch cover to put a little bit of bling onto my truck. With our Epilog Zing CO2 laser we can laser black onto stainless steel as long as we use a product called Cermark. Cermark is basically a chemical that allows for the laser to mark onto metal. Cermark works great with Stainless Steel. The most popular application is to mark on YETI, RTIC, and any other Stainless Steel Tumbler.
So after spraying my hitch cover and lasering my logo onto it this is my final product. I think you will agree it makes a very nice dark laser marking and has amazing detail. I get asked a lot about Cermark and how it is used. In my experience it is a great product and it has never let me down. However, at $75 per can we treat it like gold and none of it goes to waste.
