What do you think of this Color? TB/MAF
I've been working on a new custom powdercoat color and finally got what I want. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Yay or Nay?

I think that colr is awesome. How do you do that, if you don't mind me asking. I thought powdercoating had to be a solid color... Now how about matching the Mystic color?

Powdercoating is much different than paint because you can't mix it, it's "powder". But there are tricks to making shades look different and what not. Some I'll share some I won't. Different baking temperatures and length of time they're in the oven come into play as does how thick a coat you put on.
It sucks to experiment with because it doesn't come off like paint. Powdercoating is HARD. It takes me a lot of time to re-sandblast the powdercoat off if something doesn't come out right or I don't like the color. I have one tester TB now that has holes in it it's been blasted so much. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I think I can match the Mystic color. I'll have to try it. If I can match it, are you game for a TB? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
