Brutus Paint...What color?

[mikelikesit2000]

I am almost done with the metal work on my single tier stand. I need to start thinking about paint. I would like to powder coat it but its just not in the budget at this time.

I can never get photos to show up so I will just tell you what I got.

Basically it your standard single tier stand. The twist is that I fabricated a "box" the entire length of the stand which will be home to the pumps, piping, valve bodies (using valves with bulkhead style handles(valve body hidden)), and electrical. I will make SS sheet to cover this so that all of the busy-ness is concealed. There will be a full length access panel to get to things. I am using kegs for my vessels.

So, what I need from you, the masses, is ideas on a color or colors.

Rattle can black until powder coat. Just my 2 cents. Or pink

That has been basically been my plan. Was also thinking about using that hammered finish paint.

Hammered finish turns out well on metal, sucks on any other material. If you ultimately want to powder coat it I would leave it bare metal so you don't have to sand it off (light coat of WD40 will keep it from rusting). Or you could do some d-bag hipster paint job and use it to to only brew PBR clones because you won't be conformist and drink commercial PBR
