Specing Finishes and Materials

[TDevil]

I am a newly promoted "Mechanical Designer" from Sr. Draftsman (I am only 21) and am responsible for creating new standards and drafting practices for our department.
My question is: How do you normally depict finishes and materials on detail/fabrication drawings? For example, I have a bracket made of 3/8" 316 Stainless I need powder coated black. I usually denote this as notes like:

1. MATL: 316 Stainless Steel, .375 Thk
2. Finish: Powder coat, Black

Any suggestions?

I agree Heckler. I only had one job (for the Army) that wanted otherwise. They wanted ALL specs to have the rev's.
I argued, but lost. The project was later cancelled.
