Your design is then etched into the brass using an acid-reaction process. All the acids and other impurities are carefully rinsed off. The indentations are then filled with the enamel colors. Colors are inserted by hand, one at a time, using different sized syringes. The sheet of metal is then fired at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Pins are then cut out of the sheet according to your custom design. Non-colored (raised) sections of the pin are then plated to a shiny gold finish. An optional epoxy protective coating (dome) can then be applied to protect the color enamels from fading or cracking over time. All items are inspected twice before delivery: once at the factory, and again by our sales staff before shipping.  How to Buy!   Back to Top The easiest way to order is to fill out our Price Quote Form: just answer a few simple questions, include your artwork or a sketch of the design, and one of our sales professionals will send you your custom price quote- usually the same day.
