A resin molding is provided. The resin molding includes an optically transparent plate-shaped portion, which has a first surface having a smooth surface portion, and a second surface having plural sections, wherein each of the plural sections has a width and includes one or more convex portions which have one or more ridge lines extending in a ridge line direction. The ridge line direction of the one or more convex portions of at least one of the plural sections is different from the ridge line direction of the one or more convex portions of one or more of others of the plural sections. When the first surface of the resin molding is observed from outside, the resin molding has metallic appearance.

A paint dispenser which, when pushed against a surface, releases a metered amount of phosphorescent paint or fluorescent paint in sufficient quantity to simulate a single star when room lighting is turned off. The pump is mounted to a common handle by screw-on means so that an operator's reach is extended from normal standing height to a height sufficient to contact the ceiling with the depositor.

Methods and processes for applying powder coat faux finishes, and power coat materials associated with such methods and processes are provided. Processes employ one or more partial powder coat layers along with physical texturing techniques to provide a variety of powder coated faux finish effects. Methods may utilize standard powder coating formulations in contrasting combinations to form suitable faux finishes. Faux finishing techniques using powder coating procedures may reproduce effects previously only obtainable with wet techniques, such as, for example, sponging, color washing, rag rolling, marbleizing, faux granite, strié, antiquing, verdigris, wood graining, weathered patina, etc. Kits of materials, including powder coating materials and physical texturing equipment suitable to reproduce such faux finishes are also provided.

Disclosed is a method for treating a grained material. A nonlimiting example of the method includes the operations of providing a workpiece having grains, exasperating a surface of the workpiece to open the grains, applying at least one coat of a base paint to the exasperated surface, applying at least one layer of clear coat on the base paint, applying at least one of a glaze and a paint on the clear coat, and surface treating to reveal grains of the workpiece. Disclosed also are items of furniture and sheet materials treated by the aforementioned process.

A decorative concrete structure simulating natural wood and a method of fabricating the same is disclosed. A concrete mixture is poured over a subgrade which defines an exposed surface. The exposed surface is swept with a broom, saw cut, and optionally stained, and sealed to simulate aesthetic appearance of the natural wood.
