Once you engrave them paint the engraving. You can use any color you like. Also some fuel proof decals work well too (like used for gas R/C planes).
While I really appreciate the information from this website overall, some of the teaching here is pretty amateur. This one is the worst. While marking things is a great idea, a sharpie is a very temporary solution at best. After one use most of these marks will be gone. Give us something we can use please.
As soon as you get a little oil on there the Sharpie markings disappear. I've tried engraving with an engraving pen as well. Permanent but still hard to read.
