[sdiy] desktop enclosure with smooth surface for engraving?

[Matthew Hearn]

Have you tried taking a power sander to the textured finish and sanding it
back to the bare metal. After doing that you should be able to prime and
then re-spray it any colour you like. I am of course asuming that this is
made of metal with a textured finish applied to it. If not then I wouls
suggest checking out any local light engineering firms to see if they could
fabricate you a metal plate/whatever for your needs. I have done both
previously when doing prototyping/short run jobs for cases etc...
