Modding Etching on case panel??

I like to etch a picture on the side of my case of a pattern that i have on my pc. (Case is black)

How can i get a outline of the pattern on the panel to etch of the black paint to reveal the metal underneath.

 

Draw your pattern on a piece of paper with a pencil. Place the paper on the surface you want to etch drawing-side down. Rub the white side of the paper to transfer the graphite. That's kindergarten stuff, really. You should test to see if the pencil will stick before applying.

 

that what i thoughtbut not going to really see pencil marking on black case

 

You could rig up some sort of pantograph, that way you could get finer detail.

 

yer that an idea, isnt there any sort of transfer paper that can print it on?

 

If it is engraving you mean, then you may get some inspiration from this

Look on the second page. A bit advanced, but you can start simpler if you want. Just gives you some ideas maybe

 

yer thats a good idea cheers mate, do you know what bit he used to engrave with

 

You could put masking tape on the panel, draw your design on the masking tape, and then etch through the tape, then peel it off when you're done.
