Laser Engraving on Car Parts

Laser engraving is a technology that has found fascinating applications in the classic car world. At Gredos Garage we use fibre and CO2 laser engraving for a wide variety of tasks ranging from personalisation to component identification.

Applications in Classic Cars

The possibilities of laser engraving in the automotive field are extensive:

• Data plates: we replicate manufacturer identification plates with the vehicle's exact details
• Component numbering: we engrave serial numbers on restored parts for traceability
• Personalisation: initials, crests or custom designs on interior parts
• Scales and markings: we engrave scales on restored instruments
• Logos and emblems: we reproduce manufacturer logos on metal parts

Compatible Materials

Our fibre laser engraver works with all metals: steel, aluminium, stainless steel, brass, bronze, copper and titanium. The CO2 laser complements this by engraving organic materials such as leather, wood, acrylic and plastics. This allows us to work on virtually any vehicle component.

Precision and Quality

Laser engraving offers resolution up to 1,200 DPI, enabling the reproduction of tiny text, QR codes and detailed graphics with perfect sharpness. Engraving depth is controllable, from a barely perceptible surface mark to a deep engraving palpable to the touch. The result is permanent and indelible.

Recreating Original Data Plates

One of our most requested applications is recreating manufacturer data plates. When the original plate has been lost or is illegible, we fabricate an exact replica in the correct material with all vehicle data engraved in the original typeface. The result is indistinguishable from the original.

A Touch of Distinction

Laser engraving adds a level of personalisation and detail that distinguishes an excellent restoration from an extraordinary one. At Gredos Garage we use this technology as the finishing touch that elevates every project.
