2001Stroker Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Did you coat that yourself? Looks damn good! No, that's from Eastwood's website. My frame is at the powder coater right now. Eastwood has all kinds of translucent colors, for a very good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anodized is not glossy. Clears come in all kinds of gloss levels. I get all of my powder form HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm picking up my frame tonight. I'll post a pic tomorrow, so you can see what the anodized powder looks like. And the powder that I bought, has a high gloss to it. You just HAVE to use a chrome base to get the full effect of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boneyardbanshee. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Anodized powders do not require a base coat or a top coat. A real anodized part is not glossy. Shinny, reflective, yes, depending on the surface of the part being anodized. If the aluminum is not polished it will be flat. I am not saying you are wrong. And different companies have different products that they call different things. Anodized is just another transparent like a candy. Eastwood does not have a transparent or a candy blue so they call it anodized.Where i get my powder they have all three. When I first started out I used to get all my stuff from Eastwood. Now that I have been powder coating for a few years and learned about different companies and powders I know better. I still buy some powder from them however they are overpriced and other powders that I have used perform much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
