Our finish undergoes a similar process as a sand blast, however we use a different material to get our smooth satin finish.</p> <p>Thanks, Let me know if you have any other questions.</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=18878#post-23785 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:21:34 +0000 Steve 23785@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Jon,</p> <p>Is the finish on my Vamoots considered a "surface applied" finish (like paint is surface applied) or does it actually alter the surface of the tubes like a sand blasting?<br /> I'm about to put some clear protective tape on a few areas (where the pump hits the top tube, etc) and was curious if pulling off the clear tape at some point could actually pull off the finish. I assumed that the blasted finish was similar to a sand blasting (meaning NOT a surface applied treatment like paint) and was there for good unless you scratch it, scuff it, etc. Am I correct about that?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
