Red color engraving for medalert bracelet




I am in desperate search of anyone who can do red color engraving. I have a medic alert pendant but the red keeps wearing off, which defeats the use of a medic alert pendant. I have tried mult. web-sites without success. Is there anywhere to have this done for personal use and not industrial?

If you need the engraved lettering filled in, how about a do-it-yourself project? The hard part is going to be finding some epoxy paint that can be baked on. An outfit that does silk screen printing for industrial use probably has some epoxy paint around, or can tell you where to get it. Clean the pendant with acetone [on eBay or Amazon] to remove all grease and oil. Apply a liberal coat of paint and work it into the engraving. Then wipe the excess paint from the surface, leaving paint in the engraving. Then follow the manufacturers directions for curing/baking.
