On my monitor the design/printing looks like it's a pearl inlay into the top rather then naked aluminum. Great design and execution! Tasty!

Thats what I was thinking!

Cody: Are you doing something special to get that look, such as wet sanding in a particular pattern?

Once the bulk of the paint comes off I use 1500 grit to sand in small circular pattern. I found it helps the text pop under light. but to be honest 90% of the time its just an accident that it looks like that. lol

Great looking insie and out, as usual!

BTW...I just finished an etch where I  switched from PNP blue to the presentation paper that you recommended. It not only transferred perfectly on my first try, the edges are WAY cleaner and sharper than using PNP. Its also a LOT cheaper! Thanks!

Awesome, I am glad it worked out for you. Its so hard to suggest stuff for etching since there are just to many damn variables. Look forward to seeing your results.
