Hey, powder coaters

[alamocdc]

What have you found to be the best (read cheapest) source for the powders? I know where Eagle gets his, but I'm not that lucky.

 

[alamocdc]

Okay, so I guess I'm on my own here. No problem, I'll just keep surfin'.[]

granted my source is is ratehr unique, but check your HF store.Mine had 4 basic colors.MAtte Black, gloss white, Red and industrial yellow.
I have used the black to color tubes and it works fine.
One benifit of getting the powders at HF is they are cheaper than other sources and they come in the jars that fit the guns.
I have played around mixing the powders with their colors.

Billy, Besides HF I've looked at these two sites. So far have only used powder from HF and Caswell.

The powder at my HF comes in a can, not a jar that fits the gun. Guess HFs in different locations sell it in different containers.

Thanks, Terry, I knew I'd seen it in here somewhere, but 6 different searches turned up nothing. I guess I didn't use the right words.[B)]

Eagle, I didn't realize that about the HF powders so I'll probably get some. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, Mannie, I found Caswell using google last night, but not Columbia. I'll check it out.

And thanks to you too, Bob! I also found Pendry last night. They have some accessory powders that look quite intruiging.

I use Eastwood exclusively. I like the way their product is packaged. Their powder bottles screw right onto the Eastwood gun, so there is no dumping into another container for use. Quality stuff too. I have about 15 of their colors.
