Another good idea. Funny I was just last nite drilling a long piece of stainless and the drill melted down and I was admiring all the Kool colors. Never dawned on me to do it on purpose. I am on the horn today to get a few stainless ones powder coated to see how they last. Figure if the water gets under the paint it will not corrode the stainless and shouldn't be visable. Started on 15 new stainless ones late last nite to try and finish by late Aug. for trade 's. Going to be tight but if I just give up sleeping I should be ok. Thanks

Visited Paul last night at his shop. Man! He has got some beautiful stuff there and now I got a few too. Thanks Paul, enjoy the skin plug, it's a rare one so you may want to turn a few before sending it out to the sea. I still can't get over the sand eel rake head. Outstanding work! Thanks Again , Steve S.

Why even try.........

I'm not familiar with that stuff but if you are I am willing to send you a few. Can you apply it over the powder paint or any paint for that matter or just to the raw aluminum. I'll send a couple for you and a couple for me . Paul

yes it can go over anything. painted, raw, powdercoated, chromed. just needs a little bit of grit to grab to stick well.

wont stick to polished.
