doth sayeth:
snip you may run in to problems with the etchant eating around your
paint. I don't have a solution for this, but maybe someone else does.

The last time I etched anything was 50+ years ago. Used some type
of tar, I believe, and etched a nicely intricate stag, in a large
aluminum tray. Didn't eat around the "tar", and came out great. But,
if I try this, and I believe I will, my answer to it eating around the
paint, would be that I would be willing to make more than one, to get a
good one.

Which got me to thinking. I know I said brass, but that's something
I read. Don't know when I'd come across some brass, but already have
some steel pieces. I'm thinking that would work as well as brass. Hmm,
now just gotta think of a design I'd want, then get me some etching
stuff.

It's not hard, if you get your mind right.
