challenge
• Duplicate milled surface created in early prototypes

solution
Early modeling of the fuel cap cover insert was done with a mill.  Harley-Davidson designers wanted to keep the fine milled lines in the prototype logo on the production version of the insert.  Northern Engraving designers developed a subtle line pattern which uses a screen printed texture to duplicate the milled look.  The texture is applied in the silver area of the insert contrasting with the matte black background.  It is interesting to see a second version of the insert printed with a black logo on bright aluminum.
