Powder Coat Suppliers

I got side tracked last night, reading all the links and listed vendors. One that stood out to me was Rosey's. Their pound prices were great. On their specials I can buy a pound for less than the cost of 2 oz.

Clint, any recommendations on white, chartreuse, and black?

Hey buddy, the Chartreuse is the only catch, Pro-Tec are the only people that get that color so I just bought a pound of it a long time ago. As far as I know it's the only one like that so maybe just jump on a 2 Oz jar.

Would think Black and White most any will do as long as it high gloss. Am sure Rosey's has both or I would think so. I bought a lot of my paint before Rosey's became known and not sure they were around back then. So I paid more for a lot of mine, but still I have way too much.

For some reason Rosey's doesn't have that I am sure Columbia Coating has it. If not that then ebay!

I still have most of the small jars I started with. I bought a 1 lb jar of Red at Harbor Freight (which is more maroon than red) and 1 lb is a LOT of PP. I would suggest that if you are PPing for yourself that you get together with some other PPers and order a Black, White & Clear from Rosie's and split it up. Rosie's does have a Citrus Yellow I would like to try but I can't see myself using a pound of powder for just myself for the rest of my life.

I usually buy from powder buy the pound. That's "buy" with a U. Like Skip said, chartreuse and yellow chartreuse I buy under the pro-tec name. Its been about 3 years since I had to buy any though. A pound of paint will paint a lot of 1/80-1/16 jigs!

Anybody try to mix their own colors?

**skiptomylu** · 03-15-2016, 05:24 PM

Some do mix their own colors and other things like adding metal flake or something like that.

Mix thread is here http://www.crappie.com/crappie/pouri...nt-custom-mix/

What's the company? I for one wouldn't even consider ordering something unless I know the company or the person who actually made something.

Been bitten before.

I go through between 4 to 6oz of powder per week in certain colors (during this time of year). One thing you will notice is that each company might have a slightly different hue or tint to it. Some use the same companies to buy in bulk (most commonly the pro-tec name). So, because my customers expect the same colors time in and time out, I know where I buy my colors from. If you are doing it for yourself, the slight difference might not matter that much. Production wise, it matters a great deal. Companies even vary slightly from year to year. Example is that last year, candy gold was more of a light brown, this year it is more of a caramel color.

At any rate, I purchase mass quantities from Jann's Netcraft. I use express shipping (I pretty much have to) and get it in a day but I'm located about 150 miles from them. I am ordering from them at a minimum of once per week. For other select colors, I use TJ's. He is located North of me (in Michigan) and runs a great business. He sells 4oz jars of stuff and has some pretty good mixes too. I purchase all of my fluid bed materials from TJ's to. Yes, I could make my containers but would rather pay TJ's to do the work and his products are worth it.

I ripped through almost 4 oz's of black last night alone. But then again, I'm painting 5/8oz, 3/4oz, and 1oz jigs too
