- In this article I'm going to show you how to make a quick glowing hot metal text effect in After Effects. Create The Raw Text. To start we'll create some text in a new 12 second 720p comp. I've used the font REZ at 500px. This also has a 27px stroke applied in the Character panel to bulk out the text. This is set to the same color as the fill.
- When it comes to the exterior we have you covered from emblems, exterior moldings, weather-stripping, window glass, grilles, bumpers and the finest quality body panels and sheet metal in the industry. Need help planning your project? We know that your project is a huge undertaking that requires meticulous planning down to the last nut and bolt.

Hots Metal Machine
Hot rolled pickled and oiled (P&O) is a product with an enhanced surface finish due to the pickling process. The process of creating hot rolled P&O begins with basic hot rolled steel. To learn about the process of how hot rolled steel is made visit our hot rolled steel products page or the Beyond Metal Buzz.
To create the enhanced surface finish of hot rolled P&O the hot rolled goes through a pickling process. The pickling process removes the thin layer of oxidized iron (black oxide scale) that forms on the surface of the steel. This is done using acid baths. Once the acid is rinsed and the product is dried oil is applied to prevent the steel from rusting.
