To clear this up, I can engrave the glass windows - I probably cant engrave rear Lights.

Im interested to see how minders' rear windows come out before I place an order.

Yeah i was talking about the rear windows (quarterlights) :L Do you know how much it would cost to have both engraved?

All depends on what sort of design and how big you want on them.

could range from £5-50

I just want some text engraved for 3/4 of the length of the windows, about 1.5-2 inches high.

The words would be FILLED IN LIKE THIS rather than just normal typeface.

Also could it be done on the inside (so backwards) so the glass was smooth on the outside?


Sorry for the naff pic.

I cant fill it in completely - But I can finely cross-hatch it - as for a price it'd only be about £5-6, but then you'd have to add on two lots of postage. For something as small as that i'd suggest asking roofless to make up some 'frosted' effect stickers for the inside.

.ai Illustrator file or a decent Quality .JPG would be best.

basically I've got these silver stickers on at the moment, would you be able to engrave the design instead? Preferably on the inside of the window

Design shouldn't be a problem - But as I said to Wardy, completely shading in an area is abit tricky. What I'll do tho is I'll draw up the designs tommorow and when im on the machine on Tuesday I'll engrave a tester piece to show you how finely I can set the cross hatching to give a similar effect.

That would be great!

I've not forgot about this, but its been abit hectic here.

I tried engraving solid blocks into the glass and it looked brilliant - but when I ran my finger across it it was forming sharp crystals, which im not happy with. So for now(untill I get a spare few days to experiemnt abit more) I'm going to say that solid block of engraving onto glass isn't an option, only Single thickness lines.
