So its like...Melted rubbery plastic stuff yeah? And it gets poured into the groves?

yeah - I was thinking enamel too - just an alternative type of paint really right guys? kinda resiny?

cut right through and stuff like that is an option for custom ones - for a ballpark figure, we make badges for boats which are engraved simillarly, they are $50 and around the size of a rear scuff plate... Our design will hopefully be a little simpler since the badges have a kinda multi-layered edge which takes a while to make etc. but yes, those prices are just a little hopeful I think tadz - see what's involved, different fonts could mean a doubling in price depending on how small the tools are that we'll have to use (smaller tools take longer to cut, more intricate text/designs can take 2-3 times as long as a thick bold lettering)

I'm hoping to get the front two for less than the OEM ones - don't want them to be shabby tho - so... just let me see - not working tomorrow so I might go in and work on these ;-)

Thanks for the interest folks - I'll keep u posted!

Would enamel be more durable then paint?

Speedie · Postby **Speedie** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 10:04 pm

enamel is hard and glossy Tadz very wear resistant

Enamel should be better then. I think i made enamel for one of my projects for my metal work class. Isnt it some sort of resin with colour die in it?

How much does it cost to make? Any ideas?

I'll ask my friend for prices and colours, then JazzyB can compare to his

What do we think peoples?
I didn't do any physical work on them today- but figured out a quicker way of getting the text to work for me ;-)

bit by bit - but the clubCJ ones! hot 'ay? considering they're custom an should be same price as mass-produced ones ;-)

DANNNGGGGG!!! Those things are pure sex!! Double EOI from me mate!!!

How hard would it be to put 'The CJ Lancer Club' under it, kinda like the logo we got at the top right?

nice work, they looks great.

im not sure about the personal ones myself, but would be very interested in the clubcj ones.

they look quality

JazzyB · Postby **JazzyB** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 2:06 pm

yeah

really hope it all works well - I'm thinking that "the cj lancer club" text might be a bit small for my machine tadz... it can only run tools down to a certain size efficiently... but I'm pushing to upgrade the spindle of the machine a little (to a 32-40K RPM spindle :-D

) Basically, the engraving process should take half as long and hopefully will be able to run even finer text etc...

But, at this stage I have limitations... Thick is ok, medium is a maybe... really skinny I just can't do...

gonna talk to the boss man bout these upgrades tomorrow... since it's in the company's interest as well as ours - lol ;-)

I guess the font that i put my one in in my initial designs would be a bit small for your machine then ay jazzy?

Edit: Ive just updated the first post with the clubCJ scuff plate renderings
