I fabricated the data plate from .020" stainless then had it powder coated and finally laser etched. Color underneath is the final color vinyl sample. Came out nice.
Is the etching deep enough to perm mark into the SS plate in case the PC burns away in a post crash fire? If you haven't, I would double check with DAR if he'll accept this.

Yes. Through the powder coat plus a couple thousandths into the stainless. That was important but I will ask the DAR.

What kind of laser did you have access to?
What kind of laser did you have access to?
I don't. Colorado Laser Engraving has more than one. I didn't ask how many but he did say he used one for items with powder coat and a different one for bare metal. He said both plates the laser engraves a couple thousandths deep into the metal. If the plate burned and the powder coat burned, the etching would still be visible.
I mailed mine to him. I just happened to be in town so I picked them up. I'm sure he would return if you provided a self addressed postage paid envelope.
