A shot in the dark, but does anyone here have experience with making enamel pins?
I can electro-etch the metal part but I just can't find where to buy the enamel.
So far I found out there is soft "enamel" which requires no firing, fake hard enamel and genuine hard enamel.
I'll be thankful for any info, links, etc, really couldn't find any info..

XOXO anon

I'll look into it more if you explain the process of the etching.

Unsteady of vinyl decals I cover the whole part in nail polish and scrape it off where I want the metal to be etched. Good enough for goofing around.

Use two different style paints. A base coat black of lacquer. And your colored topcoats using enamel, remove unwanted color from the raised accents with nail polish remover.

Plus clear coat

There's Regular lettering enamel.

I used the above product (pic related) to paint lettering and murals onto a friend's car 4 years ago and it still looks good to this day. It doesn't require a clear coat unless the surface is going to be exposed to abrasion regularly.

And then there's the shit you can buy on Amazon or at hobby stores and is intended for painting models and figurines.

Lettering enamel is much easier to work with, but I would very much recommend using natural fiber brushes with it. Just make sure you comb or lightly pick at the brushes to remove loose fibers before painting with them.
