That's right folks! That's a piece of aluminum! Wood-grained powdercoating that takes a lot to scratch, and even sorta feels like finished wood. My employer uses these in special-order windows, and we can imitate most any kind of wood grain out there.

Anyone else seen interesting applications with powdercoating?

I fit garage doors that are finished in the same way, It does look like wood.

:h34r: hmm, lemme see what I can find back there. Probably nothing much though, don't usually keep any in stock...

:h34r: Sorry Pug, no dice. None to be had.

No worries - never seen it used in a mod tho' so keep it up your sleeve if you get the chance to do something for your own project. :thumb:
