FINISHES, MOCK-UPS AND INSPECTION / FIELD NOTE 24
Metallic Finish Direction on Double-Curved Panels
Directional metallic appearance can differ when neighboring panels are rotated. Curved geometry also changes the angle at which light strikes the finish across a single part.
What to check on your project
Assign an orientation arrow to each part and use it on drawings, labels and samples. Inspect neighboring parts in the planned orientation under agreed light. Avoid assuming a flat color chip captures the highlight pattern of a curved assembly.
