Nano painting is a recent innovation in stainless steel technology. Because a true copper coating is prone to quick oxidization, PVD was not able to copper coat sheets efficiently. Now, with nano painting, the incredibly popular bronze-colored sheets are available in a sustainable, durable way.
Nano painting can not be used to color a sheet with a mirror finish, but hues of copper, bronze and even Chinese red can now be added to many styles of stainless steel.

Stainless steel is available in a variety of thicknesses and gauges, so it is important to select the right one for your project.
Here are a few tips to help you choose the right thickness and gauge for your project:
In general, if the stainless steel sheets you need are for indoor and outdoor use, the ideal thickness range is 0.5mm to 2.0mm. If the thickness is less than 0.5mm, it’s easy for laborers to cause surface issues as they move and lift throughout the manufacturing process. If the thickness is more than 2.0mm, it will be difficult to use in practical applications. In addition, the color sheets serve primarily a decorative purpose, so there is no need to use a large thickness; this may also help you save money.
When selecting a stainless steel sheet design, be sure to consider the following factors:
The purpose of the sheet, for decoration or fabrication?
The environment it will be used, outdoor or indoor?
How it will be handled, welding, cutting, or bending?
The type of finish desired, glossy, dull, colored, or patterned?
There are many different options available, so take your time to find the perfect one.
