Thread: Powder Coating on top of media blasted parts

  1. #1

    Post Powder Coating on top of media blasted parts

    Jedi and Sith,
    I'm in the process of creating my first saber and I really like the flat look of the silver media blasting. Has anyone seen the Gloss Jet Black or the Solar Flat Black on top of the media blasting? What effects does a non-glossy base do to the finish of the powder coating?

    Thank you very much for your time and help!

    May the Force be with you(or what ever floats your dark boat,if you're into that sort of thing )!

    You'll want a translucent powder coating if you're getting media blasting as well. Other powder coatings, especially the matte finish, will completely obscure any media blasting.

    Copy that! Thank you for the info! I wasn't sure if the media blasting would affect the color. I've noticed that you're very active in the forums and you help out with noobs like me a lot. That's really appreciated and please don't forget that;sometimes we need all the help we can get! -Viper

    Is it truly a threadjack when the question is answered and we all get a kick out of it? Anyhow, I could just imagine American Dad Patrick Stewart narrating all of that. He's more kooky than Star Trek Patrick Stewart
