That's pretty cool! How'd you do it? Did you make a wash with a paint and then rub it off? What type of paint did you use?

Pretty neat!

I also would like to know who you did it so perfectly. It looks like it came from the factory that way!

Was pretty simple after i figured out how to do it. Go raid your wife fingernail polish put it on covering the lettering I used a pretty heavy coat. Let it dry for at least an hr to harden really well, use her nail polish remover(acetone) and a cotton ball with very light pressure. I tried to paint it and wipe it off wet with no success several times. The acetone didnt seem to hurt any of the finish on the brier. I think it makes the pipe pop a little, wanted t try this awhile ago. Think this should be a factory option, makes the brand stand out.

Interesting technique. May be able to see really faint markings.
What are you going to call it? (you discovered it, you name it)

Thanks for sharing Matt.
