Splatter Powdercoat... Coming soon !

[ChrisOFNA]

Have you guys ever did a dripped powder coat effect? It makes it look like there was paint splattered on it after painted a solid color but its actually powder coat, do you guys know what I'm talking about?

[HonkeyDong]

I dont understand, powdercoating doesn't involve a liquid?

[ChrisOFNA]

I know, but I've seen it somewhere and I know it wasn't paint, it was powdercoat, I've seen it on custom paintball guns and the such.

[ChrisOFNA]

I'm sorry guys, it was Anodizing, not powder coating.

[tranceologist]

yes ive seen that b4 . i figured it was just paint. u cant splatter powder, and im not sure about anodizing. isnt that dipped ?

[ChrisOFNA]

Yeah but you can do a splatter design,I'm just not sure how they do it. lemme pull up some pictures...

EDIT:




That's all Anodizing.

[Shadytrixta1]

wow anodizing is like chroming its all dipped...im lost how they did those guns

[tranceologist]

nice stuff. u can see that pink that its anodized.
is it not possible to have that orange gun anodized then have red paint splattered ?
i would assume the same could be approached with powder. coat the part first then splatter paint over it.

[ChrisOFNA]

I'm trying to figure out how they do it, but I know it ain't paint, its anodizing.

EDIT: Figured out how they do it. They anodize the lighter color first, then mask it off with rubber cement or similar, then anodize the dark color. At least that's one way they do it.

humm interesting. i'll put the word in for testing that concept. did u have sumthing u wanted done or just curious on how its done ?

I thought it was powdercoating at first, but I was toying around with the idea of doing it on aluminum valve covers. I'd be different and all. It keeps the original texture of the metal pretty much the same after doing it too, plus it actually makes the metal a little stronger. (Use the race RC Cars, all the nitro powered car chassis are anodized.)

its acid wash

[tranceologist]

its acid wash

ive seen acid wash of floors, looks different than splatter. i could b wrong tho...

[tru_baller]

That paintball gun with the splatter design is acid wash. I know that for almost a fact. Whether or not it can be done with another method is up to whoever wants to try. To get that look though is acid wash.
