These are 3 different custom matte painted screws we supply our long time customer – different shades of grey with one (on the right) incorporating metallic flake features with a darker overall look.  All three colors were finished with a flat sheen clear coat to create the matte final result.  This clear coat process was the trickiest part of the process as each color changed differently once that final coating was applied – often requiring a drastic reformulation of the base color to anticipate the adjustments that will take place.  Thankfully, once this initial manipulation is completed the results can be easily replication on subsequent orders.
