Did ask them for more details and guess what, they answered. Their response: sorry this is proprietary information. And only that. Oh well, did we expect anything more? I will read into enameling, lets see what gives. Thanks all

I do believe that they actually use some kind of vitrous enamel, which would be applied around this temperature and can have most colors using metal oxides. Definitely not talking here about temper colors. What I am actually really looking for are alternatives to paint finishes, for various reasons. This one seems like something I would use. But I totally agree on the hornblower issue, those guys do blow a lot and loud.

Hello all, I stumbled over "Iron Oxide Patinas" heat applied, which seems to me kind of a enameling process. Question: how exactly to do it and what kinds of oxides to use? Who has experience with this process? If you are not sure what I am talking about, here is a link to a shop which actually seems to do it: http://www.artfactory.com/door-grill-hand-forged-patina-finished-gvg12-p-5002.html Have a nice day, Andreas
