HI Guys

Thanks for the replies. I know that cadmium colour and it isn't that - it's very like copper plumbing pipe colour. I've had a Google and it seems that copper coating steel isn't uncommon but it just seems a bit extreme for a junction box.

However it also seems that steel doesn't take paint well so perhaps the copper is just a primer?

This is at odds with my usual method of just spraying anything with any old paint..... mmm time for a rethink on that one then!


Cheers
James
