I'm Gonna be Totally Transparent, ...well, maybe just Translucent
There's something about translucent powder coating colors that draw you in. Whether you call them translucent, candy, or tinted top coats, they have a depth and pop that makes you do a double take. My water bottle was sitting on my desk begging for some color. I grabbed the Candy Blue and brought it to [...]

I remember in my college days there was a local sports store chain that always had a huge banner draped over their entrance: HUGE CLEARANCE SALE!

Not only do I get to see everyone’s originality, but I also get to see a finished product of an item, that I possibly might have sold them. Although we [...]
