Can you get satin powder coating then? I've had various bits done over
the years, & it always comes out shiny. Well shinier than what I'd
consider a satin finish to be, anyhow.

Collins Chemical Blacking. Two miles from the Chateau. Google for 'em.

Interesting. At some point I'd like to strip the RatTig & make
absolutely everything satin black, & some bits need powder coating for
the durability.

Delurking,
You should take into consideration when you choose a particular colour
especially for powder coating is that the powder coating process can
cause major colour discrepancies when heat is applied during the powder
coating process.

For example:
You can have the exact same paint turn out different shades of colour
simply by using different heat settings.

Not so important with "black" but if you need to have parts powder
coated then have them all done at the same time on the same heat setting
to guarantee the colours to be an accurate shade.

The heat settings can and does alter even standard colours like BS or
RAL etc.

Just my two pence worth.

Stephen.

Stephen - fancy meeting you here! How the hell are you? You've been in the

Crikey - they look perfect!

I'd better strip the forks down and come and visit with a bottle

Hello Richard, Not seen you in the usual groups for a while either.
I've been lurking in here for yonks but not found anything constructive
to say and as you probably know I only really respond to paint related
subjects, sad I know.

I've been busy attempting to write a book on coach painting but work
commitments have prevented me from getting beyond the first chapter.
I doubt I'll continue further but it all went well initially, though
you're welcome to read some of the 26 pages already written.

I still have the old AJS but I do intend to sell it in the spring.

Hope you're well!

Regards,

Stephen.

No, that's an excellent approach. Write about what you know - nah, it'll
never work on Usenet.

Never better, thanks.

I've used 'em for paint. They're good.

Does that work on non-ferrous then?

Don't know about the particular firm but there is at least one
technique that works on alloy -- we had the box of the Antarctic
Interferometer done in black before I took it south in '80.
Unfortunately, it reacted with the high-tensile steel allen bolts that
were specified to bolt the panels together, so that they stuck tightly,
and broke free suddenly when much force was applied, spitting out sparks!

You're all wrong, it is plainly the tank.

I'd buy it if you made it even more simple than the above...
