  • Method of applying coating powder and glass flake to produce a glass flake-containing finish
    Patent number: 5368885
    Abstract: To form a sparkle finish by powder coating, an opaque initial layer is first applied to a substrate, e.g., by powder coating. Then a mixture of glass flake and clear coating powder is prepared by blending. This mixture is then applied to a substrate, e.g., electrostatically, and heated to fuse and/or cure the coating powder.
