Subject: New MOTM panel paint

From: Paul Schreiber <syntht@...>
Date: 2008-03-18

The current MOTM paint is Sherman-Williams Polane B
polyurethane. This is a 2-part "spray-on",
solvent-based paint. However, recent OSHA legislation
has made it very difficult to apply this paint
(special air filters/hazmat suits/blah blah blah).

Therefore, from this day forward, all new MOTM panels
(meaning, new designs and reorders for current
designs, once supplies are exhausted) will be using
Cardinal Industrial Finishes #C241-BK01 TGIC-free
polyester semi-gloss powder coating.

I have been looking at ∗many∗ types of finishes,
trying to get a close as posible to the original. This
is the best I can come up with. The finish is not as
'splattered' as the original, but the color and
'sheen' is ∗VERY∗ close. Also, this powder coat is
very "silkscreen friendly" (many powder coats are
not).
