Hi,

Thank you for your question.

The off-white color is not paint. It is created during the laser engraving process itself.

When the laser beam hits the surface of the black anodized aluminum with a precisely controlled amount of power, it changes the anodized coating at the molecular level, revealing the permanent off-white marking. This is a chemical process, not an applied coating, so the text will not peel, chip, or wear off like paint.

This laser engraving process creates crisp, durable lettering that is designed to withstand normal outdoor use for many years.

Best regards,
