Video transcript

  1. 0:00Retro enamel colour is made in a kiln, not on a screen.
  2. 0:05Orange is coloured glass over a dark ground coat. Thin coats or extra heat drift it toward rust; more pigment pushes red.
  3. 0:16So brief the glass. Send a physical reference, compare fired plaques in daylight, sign one as the master, and approve light and dark limit samples.
  4. 0:27Batches vary with coat thickness, kiln position, glaze lot and refiring. Anything between the limits passes. Run one glaze lot; test each colour and decal.
  5. 0:38Black rims hide chips, navy brightens orange, stainless has no edge to chip. Opaque white or black logos hold; yellow, red and brand orange vanish.
  6. 0:50Rim, body and logo should be approved together, fully fired.
  7. 0:55Send your colour, rim and artwork for fired options and a quote.
