[TR] Satin Black Powder coat

[Roger Elliott]

Hi Everyone,

I knew as I as describing it, that I was not being very clear.  Trouble 
was I couldn't figure out how to describe it.

But as Don is describing it, it is at the "macro" level.  I can feel the 
difference.  I suppose it is about the same as the difference between 
glossy magazine cover and a brown paper bag. Maybe not quite that much.

It sounds like it is probably something to do with the way I apply 
it.    I am going to email Eastwood and ask them.

What have people found most appropriate for under the bonnet black items 
when powder coating?

Thanks,

Roger Elliott
