Fordite


	Quote: These stunning pieces are made from something that's only found in the heartland from a substance called Fordite, or ''Detroit agate,'' thousands of layers of repeatedly baked enamel paint from the days when cars were hand-sprayed. It is now highly sought-after for jewelry-making.

Re: Fordite

I used to go out with a girl whose dad had a respraying business. When he had finished a car he would empty his spray gun onto a post on the wall. Eventually he hacked the post away and polished the result .. it was about 2 feet high and looked exactly like that.
