    Anyone know what type of paint is used for the graphics on the underside of the glass build plate?

    Also, has anyone heard of anyone creating a custom painted graphic DIY type article (Google didn't turn up anything worthwhile)?

    Nearly any high heat enamel should work like VHT Engine Enamel, Rustoleum High Heat, Duplicolor Engine Enamel, etc.

    I think most of those complex-surface/mirror-surface graphics are hydrographics coated with enamel

    Since I removed all the paint from my Robo build plate, I can tell you that even the white sections are paint. Using a paint mask and probably the only job the Chinese worker does for how ever many hours a day will make you very proficient at painting. The black over it all is also painted. It also could very well be rolled on then sprayed by machine.
