Sorry for the late response. This is a pen made by Fisher, called the Rainbow Bullet: http://thewritersedge.com/fisher.bullet.precious.cfm

I work for a garment company and we are trying to achieve this type of finish on one of our metal trims. Unfortunately, our factory has had little success replicating this look.

I am merely a product developer and FAR from a scientist but I thought I would take matters into my own hands to find the solution.

Dustin, Is PVD Physical Vapor Deposition? (I just looked it up on wikipedia) If so, can you tell me how you guys are using it to achieve this effect? Is this a pretty labour intensive process?

Hello,

I found this image online and am curious how this type of finish is achieved? What type of process is this and what type of machinery would be involved?

thanks
