Trying to come up with alternatives to painting and etching a number plate or any other plate in an inexpensive way I have found that by embossing in reverse in some thin annealed brass an alternative that can work . the first tests have all been done with a hard pencil (graphite is slippery) I will try some small metal punches next.
The sequence is as follows
press the numbers in reverse

flip over

cover with coloured permanent marker

buff off the high surfaces with some scrap soft card

Practice is the key

The silver is some pie plate aluminium
