Typical Sheet Metal Finishes
Applicable Materials | Colour | Description | |
---|---|---|---|
Bead Blasting | All metals | Uniform matte of raw material colour | Bead blasting is used mainly for visual purposes and comes in several different grits which indicate the size of the bombarding pellets. |
Powder Coating | All metals | Black, white | Powder coating is typically used because it has a longer lasting, tougher finish than painting. |
Anodizing | All metals | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold | Anodising is used to increase surface hardness, wear resistance and durability of metals such as Aluminium. |
