Candy Red Powder Coating
I love the finish on aluminum IronMan from CNCZone is getting here:
Translucent Candy Red Powder Coat, not anodizing!
While it looks like a nice anodizing job, IronMan reports it is Columbia Coatings Translucent Candy Red. I have the impression from the post he chose it because he didn’t want to go to the trouble of setting up an anodizing line. Whatever the reason, it came out looking great. Makes me wonder what the relative durability of this finish is compared to anodizing. He states a mirror finish on the aluminum is needed to get results like this. He obtained that finish first with 600 grit sandpaper followed by buffing with polishing compound.
Very nice!
