Powder Coated Tube
|
|
I have spent roughly 11 months building this telescope, and through that time I waffled back and forth on what color to paint the tube. For some reason I have always loved white on telescopes, but for this project I seriously considered black to set off the red anodizing in the focuser and mirror cell. Last week I drove the tube over to my local powder coating shop, still unsure which color I would ask for when I got there. After some conversation with the owner I noticed a sample swatch of gloss black with silver flecking. It was an instantaneous decision. I really could not be happier with how this came out.
