I am looking for a pen plating solution color that Rio Grande use to carry.

Its called gunmetal and from what I understand it is actually the same stuff other companies called black nickel.

I have looked in both Rio Grande and Gessweins catalogs and neither carry it anymore.

Do any of you know of anywhere I can get the black nickel or gunmetal color pen plating solution?

Thanks,

Ray

Ray, Stuller has a black antique plating I don't know if it will work for a pen though. Did you look at Cohen's web site?

I have looked at the black rhodium and i think it is too dark for my application. Plus it is unrealistically expensive right now. I looked at Cohler and they did not have the black nickel. Hopefully Dalmar will come through.

Thanks Mike.
