Engraving my Maratac AAA (damaged)

[cdesigns]

DAMN IT

Maratac flashlight does have a very hard coat on them, I had my laser engraver set to do normal anodized aluminum engraving and the engraving was a little transparent due to the hard coating, I changed the speed of the engraving and added more power to the laser and for some reason the graphic shifted, now it doesnt look that bad but its not clean. I will remove all the coating and polished

Here are some pictures and video, this maratac AAA really have a hard coating, I will be buying 2 more to experiment with more graphics.

The flames suppose to be thin and clear but at the end I got a fat flame

Well it's naked now, I removed all the anodizing with a metal brush drill bit.

I will be buying a black one and try engraving it again.

Wow! Terrific engraving. Do you intend to offer it as a service to CPFers'?
