Easy new way to engrave in black on ceramic tile

Isn’t this just a highly manual version of the Norton method?

Norton White Tile Method

Has anyone tried the Norton method of tile “etching” in the glowforge? Every example I’ve seen has been done with a low power diode laser. It’s rather interesting if you’ve never heard of it. I’ll summarize as best I can. Take a white ceramic tile… Spray it with a couple layers of flat white spray paint. Laser the hell out of it with your pew pew machine… then use turpentine or other agent to remove all of the white paint remaining. What remains is a black (or grey depending on power use…

Titanium oxides are the main ingredient in white spray paints. Seems like the same technique more or less?
