There Be Dragons!! - Aluminium Bracelet

I use some stuff called "Granville Cylinder Black - High Temperature Paint for Exhaust Systems, Engine Cases, Barrels Etc". It does wipe off quite nicely and gives you enough time to work on a reasonable area before it dries too much. Main advantage, however, is that it requires no primer.

Thanks, that sound like good stuff, I'll have to investigate trying it out

No worries I just had it around and gave it a go but it only came from the local motor factors, rather than a specialist, so should be easy enough to get hold of.

This is gorgeous!

Simple but effective. How did you do the engraving if you don't mind my asking?

[Stirring Moose]

Thanks again for all the nice comments In answer to metalsmith, the engraving is done by hand using hammer and gravers, with some punches and an engineer's deburring blade used for a bit of tidying here and there.
