I was wondering what you all think would be a good looking rail finish. Here's what I had in mind;

Rusty/Patina finish........................................... Worn in.

Splatter paint/ textured ect. ................................wear away

Or regular solid colors or "two tone" type deal..... wear away

Or solid color powdercoat...................................little/no wear. Powdercoating is expensive...

Let me know what you all think and or ideas you would like to see.
Thanks in advance!

I personally love a powder coated rail, but the idea of a rusting rail is really cool in my opinion happy

Normal solid color paints that will ware away is my favourite! But it depends on if you are after that the look of the rail is supposed to last "forever" or not as a product..

Of course Cali Irons have had great success with ware away paints in the past, so there is no reason why you cant go down that path..

I would say maybe do a few of each and see which sells best happy
Your rails are awesome to say the least, I couldn't imagine you having any difficulty selling a couple a month at least.

cool thanks guys, I have a rusty one in the works.

I dont want to really go the powdercoat route because of the cost...

But florescent pink and green where on my mind :/
