1st Powder Coating Batch

We've had our first batch of parts back from the powder coaters. We've used 3 different finishes, as per VW, these were: High-Gloss, Satin and Matt. The Colour Code for the Black is RAL9005 - this is the international standard colour code system and all painters / powder coaters will know this system and colour.

We used BG Pennys of Coventry for Powder Coating. They are the people that did the blasting of the van too. They also zinc-plated each item before it was powder coated. This gives a better finish and a much longer lasting finish also.

    The finished products look superb! What I like about powder coating is its long-lasting, color-durable effect. The color stays brighter over time as compared to other types of coats. Plus, there is also a wide variety of texture selections, from smooth to wrinkle finishes; rough textures, in particular, are good for hiding the surface flaws.
