The engraving process is as follows:

The engraving offered includes the following:

  • UD-3 Cap Casting (top plate) will be cleaned and prepared with acid etch & scotch brite
  • Plate will be engraved with selected text layout
  • Lettering will be filled with Black,Red or Blue paint then heat cured.
  • Lettering may remain unpainted if desired
  • A top clear coat will be applied and heat cured. The clear coat is an Avgas proof coating (Note: Solvents like lacquer thinner will attack the clear coat & lettering)
  • You can request the caps be unpainted & no clear coat applied
