Same thoughts but I think this way will work a lot better than mixing the
powders before curing, even though it might be interesting to do anyway. I
will attempt both ways and report back.
Thanks,

>One of our customers has asked us to powder coat his intake manifold in a
silver/black swirl. He has seen this on a BMW, he said it's like a marbled
look and was told by the owner he had it powder coated. I can only imagine
it's done by applying silver then black then somehow using some tool to
selectively mix the powders, like a marble cake. Has anyone done this?

Jack,
I suppose one could powder coat in black, cure and then apply a coat of
silver and before curing take an artist brush and sweep the powder to an
imperfect cover with the desired effect. Then clear coat the whole mess.
But I'm still a novice.
