Laser Marking on Thin-Film Ceramics | Tech Tip #2
Multiple layered colors of thin film paint can reveal layered colors, using laser obliteration without needing stencils.
Definition: Laser ablation or photoablation is the process of removing material from a solid (or occasionally liquid) surface by irradiating it with a laser beam.
Certain colors can also be exposed to a laser for altering shades, and in some cases, additional colors can be found within the parent layer of coating.

Lower PSI for soft metals such as aluminum and various other soft materials, and higher PSI for hard metals like steel and stainless steel
Cleaning & Degreasing Parts Before Coating | Pro Staff Tech Report #3
Soak or spray raw parts with a high-quality solvent (such as acetone or a dedicated heavy-duty degreaser.)
This removes heavy oils, packing grease and cutting fluids prior to mechanical blasting, preventing contamination from being driven deeper into your substrate.
