the difference between...

[singlefished]

Apologies in advance for the nooby style question, but, what's the difference between LP reo grand black wrinkle copper vein & LP reo grand copper vein???

They both look the same to me on the reos website but I'm clearly missing something.

There is a good thread here with pictures showing the different finishes so I'm guessing the black wrinkle is the body colour and copper vein is the door colour...?

Many thanks

Doh! What happened to thread title???

 

[singlefished]

Ok... Fixed it

One would be all copper vein ...... the other is half black wrinkle and half copper vein

Didn't look at the pic but either the door or the body and that one must be black wrinkle finish (the best finish IMO)

Black Wrinkle Copper Vein has a Black Wrinkle body with a Copper Vein door. Copper Vein has body and door Copper Vein The reason it's hard to tell is because you can only see the edges of the body being Black Wrinkle and mostly the door being Copper Vein it's hard to see the edges of the body so it looks like they're the same. You might be able to see the difference by looking at the catch cup area.

If 2 colors are listed the first color is the body and the second is the door LP reo grand black anodized (body) brass engraved (door).

Thanks for your help guys... now my only problem is which one to get!

There's so many good lookers it really is hard to pick!

I recommend
Start with a blk wrinkle. Everyone should have at least one blk wrinkle in the stable. Easy to change out doors for different looks as well.

Amen to what RattlerX said.

I'm considering the black wrinkle body with copper vein.... But silver vein body with a copper vein door would also be quite a looker...

Will consult the boss in the morning and see what she thinks even though I know she'll like the black and copper

Keep in mind the copper will naturally darken to be more brown than copper. If you want to keep the copper look you should clearcoat it as soon as you get it.

Thanks Filthy, I love the look of clean copper so clear coat sounds like a plan!

How many coats before it would start interfering with the door operation? One or two would be ok I guess but have never clear coated before...

I have opted for the clear coat paint method. You could also get spray but I thought the paint would be more "controlled". Bought some crafting brushes from Hobby Lobby.

what clear coat paint did you use? I bought the spray and it worked great except one tiny spot where I guess I hit it too hard and it dried with run. Kinda like when paint runs. It's a spot that ran. Not significant but not sure how to fix it now. I don't want to sand it b/c i'm afraid I'll sand the paint instead. But, probably need to get the kind I can paint since I didn't spray in the crevices for this reason. Thanks!
