It's not very difficult to accomplish this task as a DIY project at home. There are many YouTube videos on the subject that will walk you through the entire process and the tools/materials needed are very easy to get which are basically a power supply (battery charger, modded computer power supply etc...), dye (clothing dye works), plastic bucket and metal pot big enough to allow your part to be completely submerged and a few other odds and ends. Anyway it's a pretty nice setup to have sitting on the work bench for a Hobbyist to use.

Yea, they actually sell markers you can use pretty easily. They're like bingo card blotters - Used to use em working on helo generator shells all the time.
