recycled auto paint Fordite necklace


forditenecklace1.jpg

This eye-catching necklace was created from a piece of Dagenham (UK) Fordite. Fordite is rare, old auto paint slag.  Back-in-the-day automobile factories hand spray-painted cars resulting in a build-up of layered paint enamel of different colors which was then baked together in the painting process. The resulting material is called Fordite and it’s not created anymore. Some enterprising individuals, fascinated by Fordite’s layered coloring, salvaged some of the material which has now become great looking jewelry.

You can buy this little piece of auto manufacturing history @ walkonthemoon’s Etsy shop
