Medical ID Bracelet Lettering Faded – How to Re-Blacken it and Seal it?

by Connie.

I purchased an engraved metal medical ID bracelet. The lettering was in black but eventually the color wore off.

I have a new ID bracelet and I was wondering if you have any suggestions as how to prevent the lettering wearing off again.

Could I coat it with acrylic spray, or lacquer? I seldom take the bracelet off so it goes in the shower, dishwater, etc all the time.

I was hoping you could give me some advice as to what, if anything, there may be that will prevent this problem.

Thank you for your time and information.
