Laser compatible paint

The owners manual says some paints and stains may not be compatible and I’m wondering what kind of paints can be used on wood and then engraved or cut in the Glowforge? I’m interested particularly in metallic paints and stains.

Beyond that, paint is a material like any other, so the same safety rules apply. You might like to read #4:
