Awesome! I too like the idea of a bit of texture on the finish. Will the upcoming VV Grands be powder coated?

I think we will see some powder coated and anodized . I have to experiment a bit more and find what works and what doesn't .I can already see some colors are friendly and others are not I like friendly

Is the white friendly? I'm kinda diggin on the white. I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

I think the white can be done I never would have guessed

Looks awesome Rob- I want a Burnt Orange Mini!!!

That looks great rob! I like the idea of a textured finish, would make it more grippy in the hands of us klutzes. I think you may no longer need to fight with anodizers IMHO

I am glad people like the textured I am leaning in that direction

Second Vote for a white VV grand! I was up in the air on what color to get. White would be awesome.

 

[stravaigin]

White!!!!! Yes!!!! I remember asking for a white Reo a long time ago. I would stick a blue cross on it and everyone would think "that woman needs a vaporiser" and they would be right too lol

LOVE THAT NUBBLY POWDER FINISH! Is it possible to retrofit a previously anodized Grand with powdercoating?

I am working on it I have over 400 doors that are anodized I believe there going to need to be stripped before I coat them

Very exciting stuff, Rob. So you're doing the powder coating in-house? One less thing to send out for?

Yes I am doing it I am trying to be rid of the plating companies . I want more control over the final product

 

[davelog]

That's a great move, Rob. Financially, logistically, and creatively. I'm glad to see your business growing not only in sales, but also in production!

That's exactly what I was hoping you would say. You shouldn't have to pay for a service that limits you, and ruins a good bit of your product.

So, I'm totally ignorant on the powder coating process - do you have the ability to do two colors at once, fading into each other? A sunburst door on a black body would look sharp.

You can do two colors I haven't attempted this as of yet but I am sure in time I will .
