Spatter Finish

We need a coating material that will produce a "spatter" finish on the steel interior surfaces of a machine operator's cab that we produce. We desire to apply this with a common industrial spray system, if possible.

Dear Henry,

You can achieve that spatter look by adjusting your gun settings. If you are going to seal the color with a clear coat, you have to make sure that the clear won't attack the color and cause it to run or lift.

Good luck.
