Looking at those two new hammer colors right now, and they both look pretty much like a white hammered enclosure, with metallic sheen on the peaks of the texture— silver for the silver, and gold for the “white” one. I actually got a VERY similar look to this on an enclosure I did a while back by painting an enclosure with rustoleum hammered white, and then applying (and then wiping back) antique gold rub-n-buff

Oh man, that hammered white looks like it could be awesome. Would love to see a more clear picture to confirm the gold accents in it, as it would be perfect for an upcoming project I'm doing.
Looks to me like Tayda is going towards more durable finishes that are less prone to troubleshooting and defect. More hammered options, and they're really pushing the matte sand texture finishes while discontinuing finishes that are more prone to imperfections and defect (metallic, matte, etc.). Lucky for me, I use hammered and sand texture finishes almost exclusively, but I'm still on day 12 of waiting for my most recent order to get painted. Took about 7 days just to get the drilling done, and paint job is still pending after another 5 days.
In case you all didn't know, the workshop is overloaded

That sand green is awesome. the sand brown is a bit underwhelming in the picture, but looks like it could be good for a CE-1 look at least

I just received my latest order that had matte black sand texture and it looks like they switched their supply. This time around they were much more "sandy", if that makes sense. Flatter look, zero sheen, more texture. The plastic wrap around the enclosures was also different, but thankfully easier to take off. I'll try to get some comparison pictures shortly.
