Hello Robert, : )

    It seems that there have been several posts lately about products
    which add color when applied onto metal and "cured" in a variety of
    ways. These coloring systems often seem to be mistaken for, and / or
    misnamed "Enamels" when they are in fact not the same materials as
    enamels at all, and the finished appearance is achieved in a very
    different process to enameling. 

>     Does anyone have a name and source for this product ? 

    There are many color system products available which become "cured"
    in a variety of ways. You can search for information on the Orchid
    Archives with search terms & product names such as... "Cororit,"
    "Ceramit," or "Durenamel." And other types of color systems like,
    "Colores Epoxy Resin," "Resin," "Epoxy," or "Epoxy Resin." 

    One of the products, and the one you may be inquiring about, is a
    color system product known as "Colorit." It is photosensitive -- it
    is cured with a blue light. There is a VERY informative post on the
    Orchid Archives regarding "Colorit's" properties and application.

    And you can probably email the person who made that post for
    additional information. 

    I believe that Gesswein Co. Inc. www.gesswein.comTel: 1-800-544-2043
    x287 in CT: 203-366-5400 sells the product. There may be other
    similar products that would be of use to you and hopefully you will
    receive additional posts to your inquiry. Hope you find the product
    that will best serve your needs! 

Very Best Regards!
