Want some new looks in metal and wood finishes

1997

Dear Sir,

We are interested in importing various powder coating chemicals into India, Mainly for decorative metal finishes, and maybe decorative wood finishes.

The normal glossy, matte powders are available in India, we are looking for the following kinds of powders:

1. Metallic gold finish, Metallic silver finish,glitter finish,glimmer finish,rough texture finish, fluorescent finish, transparent finish.
2. Powders for galvanised, cast iron and foundry items called "outgassing".

In case you manufacture any of the above kindly inform us at the earliest which would enable us to proceed further.

Thanks & Regards,

Mr. Sachdev inquired about powder coating wood. How would this be possible? Where could I find more information about this?

I am needing information on how to apply and products that can be used to finish wrought iron stair spindles. I have seen some metal products that have a brown rusty appearance and would like to be able to replicate. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks

At the turn of the century a wood there was a process called "wood grain photo finish". Do you have any type of information on this process or at least be able to point me in the right direction
