Would the laser printer be accurate enough/would it be possible to burn off the black layers only (to reveal red), or the black and red layers (to reveal blue), etc? If so, this may make for an interesting method of multiple-colour printing...
Have any of you experimented this way? Suggestions for paints that you've used (and are safe) to do something similar?
Possible, but please obtain an msds for the paints and make sure that the
thermal breakdown products are non-toxic.

in the past with other machines, ive had great luck with powder coat and anodizing.. anodizing gave the most striking response. i made a slide rule with black anodized 6063. laser marking turned it white. very nice effect..
toxicity... heck i been breathing that all my life, im good to go!.. <twitch, twitch> :-P
Nice. With an anodization layer I'd totally agree, no need for an
msds. I had visions of half a dozen strange thick layers of oil paints
and such flaming away in the cutter...

A different application of this technique could be to paint some aluminium
(see other thread), laser-etch the paint away, the apply some chemical to
the newly-exposed metal to etch it or, potentially, eat through it.
