Wonder how much it would cost to get an engineering machine shop to make a reverse stamp from steel for these?
Some CAD/CAM software programs allow you to make a raised shape out of a jpg image.
If you could make the model it wouldn't take long to machine.
Yo would then be able to get the Hot Stamp look on the caps.
Any small jobbing shop with a CNC milling machine would be able to cut a steel stamp for you.
Probably get it cheap if you mention its for your pinball machine just ive them plenty of time to do it and they would just squeeze it in when they get time.
Provide a piece of steel for them with the cad model and it wouldn't take them very long.
To stamp it in the caps, you would just heat up the stamp and press it into the cap and then paint in the grooves.

I'd prefer aluminium, it's so much faster to work with CNC. And doesn't take so much energy to heat up, if planning on heatstamp those logos.
I dont think Ill bother. I'll just do my stickers on plain white caps
