Hi all looking for a clamp for my hardware build. My tube that I'm using is made from aluminum. I. Trying to find a clamp that will best match. I have a 2 cell bottom and the plating is a little darker than the aluminum. I've been thinking of making my own clamp but it's a lot of effort and time I just don't have. It's hard looking a pictures online but will the satin finish look close enough?
 
I sure would like to know what the “standard” finish is also... is matte the shade to go with for a graflex build?

The matte finish with the black text is the same as what Roman ships with his Graflex replicas, at least the V1, and it matches my vintage Graflex top very well.

Thanks mcm!
 
I have a question about the Roman clamps. I recently purchased a V2 kit and was going to use a Roman, but Im torn between the matte and satin finishes. Matte would make me think it would be a bit more "weathered" right? But the black text is a turn off.

Maybe its possible to weather the satin clamp instead?
 
Yes, it is possible but it takes a ton of work. I think they are plated with kryptonite.
