NASF just wrapped up the 2012 Bright Design Challenge scholarship competition with some very talented design students from the Detroit-based College for Creative Studies. The event is part of the Surface Technology Initiative, which the association launched last year to spotlight the vital role of surface finishing in both the value chain and society.
The students competed in early May, and their designs incorporated some very creative surface coatings concepts for CAN-AM/BRP’s three-wheel Spyder, which is considered a “paradigm-shifting vehicle that makes a true statement.”
Congratulations to our 2012 winners:
- First Place – Leonard Takata
- Second Place – Yuyol Lee
- Third Place – Minwoo Song
- Honorable Mention – Andrew Bianchi
The designs can be seen on the new NASF Bright Design website at nasfbrightdesign.com.

Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
