finishing, utilizing a five stage process and the
coating shall be electrostatically applied powder
in accordance with the following specifications.

X 8” X 0.024” test specimens of the same material
as the cabinets, in the same manner as applied
to the cabinet. Testing shall include cross-hatch
(tape pull), M.E.K. rub, and manual bend testing in

Shall result in a maximum of 10% deviation from
an original finish measurement when checked by
