Aluminum Finishes

I'm seeking Visual standards for aluminum finishes to be used to establish cosmetic requirements and communicate these to our suppliers.
If there are none available I may work with a plater/finisher to create some.
If you currently have standards available or would be interested in obtaining some please contact me.

Hi Jim,
METALAST tech center is undergoing comprehensive research and development in the field of anodizing technology. I am interested in cooperating with you to make sample standards for quality control if your suppliers cannot. Please contact me to discuss details, including materials, processes, thickness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, electric resistance, uniformity, appearance, and consistency.
