Dear NAME_1 

Hope you are well. 

To give you a quick brief about M-01, please note as per the enclosed project specification M-01 is specified as NAME_2 coated S/S railings – Gun Metal finish from Stallion Metal Works LLC. As you are aware gunmetal finish is a top paint coat which is achieved by the NAME_2 coating process hence, we submitted a sample prepared by NAME_3 and the same can be applied on various subsurface as per the project requirement. Further to this NAME_4 commented on our material submittal to provide M-01 from the specified supplier.

Please note we reached out to the specified supplier i.e., Stallion Metal Works LLC and they refused to provide any warranty for NAME_2 coating done on stainless steel. We also reached out to NAME_3 – NAME_2 coat division and got the same confirmation at gunmetal powdered coating is suitable for application on the aluminium surface and they can provide a warranty of up to 20 years for application on the aluminium subsurface however no warrant would be provided in case it is done on stainless steel. 

We would also like to highlight that Havelock has a huge in-house metal manufacturing facility to carry out these intricate details efficiently. And from our previous experience of NAME_2 coating on stainless steel, we have encountered issues like peeling of paint within a few years of usage. 

To summarise we request your approval to use aluminium as a subsurface with the gunmetal finish from NAME_3 as per the sample sent to Top notch office. We had a long discussion on this subject with NAME_4 in our weekly meeting yesterday and on principal, they agreed with our proposal subject to your approval. 

We look forward for continued support and approval to proceed with production of this long lead item in the project. 


Kind Regards,
NAME_5
