Colour issue - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

Crimson · #1 (**permalink**) 01-24-2008, 09:06 PM

Hey guys,

I got a sample swatch from NIC powder that matched up pretty good with the paint that is on the customers bike, When I shot the powder I cannot get it near as dark as the sample or as the user wants.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong that is causing the powder to be too light? Or how to get it darker?

Thx Mike

what is the powder? are you using a base coat?

it is called Manhattan Blue, No base coat.

Apply thicker? NIC will let you know if there is a base coat color required, but maybe call them? What is substrate? If its shiny, light colored metal, then it very well can cause lightening of powder if the swatch was sprayed on a dark substrate. But I know alot of powders will darken if applied thicker.

ok I will try and thicken up the power on it.
