Each piece is unique and no two pieces will ever be the same.
This material is a byproduct of the painting process, usually in the auto industry. During the painting process, 'overspray' will accumulate on parts in the paint booth in thin layers that harden over time. These are then salvaged and recycled into beautiful creations and works of art.
The general process for the production of Fordite is the same. It's the colors and quality that vary from one line to another. Some types take an amazing polish, while others tend to have a rougher surface when done. In addition, the colors can be different from manufacturer to manufacturer and often year to year within the same brand. It's this variety that also reflects in the pricing of Fordite.
