Re: copper powder coating?

that looks a lot better than the chrome powdercoat that is just a shiny silver in reality...

Re: copper powder coating?

I have never used copper colors before, but looks like there a quite a few variations available. The PBTP site has user pics with some of the colors.

I used to work for one of the largest manufacturers of powders for the coating business. Rohn and Haas.
One of their products is this


43-9364 CORVEL™ COPPER MINE

CORVEL 43000 series polyester/epoxy hybrid based powder coatings are designed as non-weatherable textured coatings to serve as decorative and/or as functional coatings for a wide range of end use products (some finishes may require a clear weatherable top coat to improve weatherability, enhance mar resistance and resistance to scuffing and scratching). They possess outstanding over bake resistance, faraday cage penetration and very good performance characteristics and mechanical properties. Rohm and Haas Powder Coatings polyester/epoxy hybrid 40000 series textured finishes are ideal for applications such as office furniture, metal shelving and display racks, interior lighting fixtures, metal cabinetry, and wire goods. Please consult with your Rohm and Haas Powder Coatings Technical Representative to ensure that the selected product is suitable for your end use application.

I can talk to some of my old co-workers if you want to find out more about it if you want me to.
