rsinyard Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hey guys, I have been working on an idea and haven't come up with anything decent and thought I would throw it out to you for suggestions. I am trying to create a texture like the copper or silver vein with blue or red. I contacted one of my local powder coaters and they said it could be done but I would have to order like 500 pounds for this special order. Have any of you guys tried this?

rsinyard Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I talked to Columbia Coatings. They are one of the best places close to me. They told me that most people but a base coat of the silver vein then use a translucent on top. I am looking for something like the attached picture but instead of the silver I want red or blue. I haven't gotten the desired results in trying to mix red and blue with black. Thanks guys. Edited October 7, 2008 by rsinyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ron, I have been experimenting with textured finishes for quite awhile. These finishes are not your gold or silver vein colors. This is actual textured powder made for that purpose. Currently I have 3 beige colors, all a different shade, and a smoke which is gray. I currently purchased several hundred pounds of each, which in a month or so I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsinyard Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Thanks Ted. Your post helps me explain in more detail. I am looking for the texture feel like you talked about. What I would like is a black base coat with a red or blue pebbly feel. I use the term vein because that is the look I am going for. How does the textured powder work? Does it give you a raised look or does it go on smooth like normal powder? I hope this makes more sense.

cadman Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Ron, The powder paint has a raised look and feel to it. It looks and feels like someone put sand on the jig. Edited October 8, 2008 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
