| People have been requesting more of
the Fordite we purchased a number of years ago. We encountered it by
mistake and thought it was fascinating and beautiful, plus part of history.
The supply is limited and when it is depleted, that will be the end of it.
This material has come from the walls of the Ford company in the US and UK.
When Ford sprayed their automobiles, the layers of paint would adhere to
the walls. Over many years, this built up and had to be removed. It has
hardened over the decades and with experience, one can remove the layers to
release the inner beauty related to the colors of vehicles that were
painted in the 1950s and 1960s. Since the process for painting has changed,
this material will no longer be created, so it is truly a very limited
supply. Again, All That Glitters was fortunate to find a person who had
some of this material stashed away for decades. The owner of All That
Glitters chose the best colors and designs. All of this material has some
metallic paint, so it may glitter - this is actually what you want to see!
From another individual, we did see one piece of the material at a good
price, but it didn't look right - it did not have the layers that we
expected, nor did it have the metallic paint. Think it was meant to deceive
and to fool the unsuspecting into thinking that it was Fordite.
Our previous pieces of this material were sold to someone who makes jewelry. This
material is great for that purpose, as well as historians, car buffs or for those who desire to own a
piece of Ford History. Our last parcel that sold several years ago was also
photographed for a book on gemstones, and this odditiy was included:
Previous All That Glitters Fordite Inventory Photographed for a Book on Gemstones! Note that both sides of these pieces have very different designs and colors most of the time. The pieces typically contain some metallic paint, so that it will sparkle in the sun or under lights, just like the original paint on the car! We photographed the side that we liked best. |

PayPal, but an account is not required; Zelle is bank account to bank account; Venmo is bank account to bank account but one can use a debit card as well as a credit card

that will not return their fee if an item is returned. We no longer offer PayPal as a standard payment option...
