Fresh appliance jewelry!
Hey gang - it has been an absolute pleasure watching Robert learn this craft, as well as testing out a few samples through the summer. It is exciting to know that the technology behind the urethane products from some of the suppliers is much more UV resistant now than it was just a few years ago, with the hopes that Robert's hard work of color matching lasts as long as possible, through normal use.
I cannot wait to see what else can be reimagined in 2024 and beyond, not just by Robert but by others as well! I'd love to toss my hat in the ring at some point, too, and learn from the master.
A few photos from testing throughout the summer. The last set of action shots from the '58, as well as the '61, were taken today (3 through 8). What is hard to capture is just how close the colors are, both in terms of how they match each other between the two sets, but also how close to the original source they are. Robert has really done his homework in this area, and they are perfect and look exactly the same as the first day they were put into use.
The camera color balance throws the shading off, depending on shadows, lighting source, etc. The yellow of the lint chaser ring is spot on between the two washers, as well as the darkness of the turquoise on the agitator cap. In person, the turquoise isn't nearly as dark as it shows up in some of the photos.
