These red pieces are the only part of the work that is in contact with the supporting wall. The plates will be anchored with 144 stainless steel rods embedded into the wall and secured with 144 red dome nuts.
Dexterity and patience.
Prior to the application of powder all of the components are cleaned, washed, etched and washed again.
Powdercoating is a surprisingly clean process, the object is earthed, the powder has a negative charge.
These pieces will be baked at around 180-200 deg. C then a second coat (clear anti-graffiti) will be applied and they will be baked a second time.
This is the first of five colours, 16 of the 226 pieces to be coated.
