Blackwell remembered this was only the first step. “The question was how close can we get to this classic look? Working with the team at Sherwin-Williams, the challenge wasn’t so much on matching the color, but rather how much flake was needed to achieve the metallic effect. This was in 2017 before Sherwin-Williams introduced its Fluropon® Effects Nova coatings. Our custom coating for Thaden was a precursor to those.”
