Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to specify a dark grey and a black (separate) finish for a pair of stainless steel parts. The finish needs to be wear and abrasion resistant, and not compromise the corrosion resistance of the material.
I have done lots of reading online, and have been unable to get a conclusive answer.
Knife blades and watches seem to use this finish a lot, does anyone know what they are using?

I have looked into powder coatings, but I don’t like them because a powder coated metal part no longer feels like metal, and the point of this design is to communicate quality by the presence of metal, not to disguise it.
