    Lets see some of your powder coated colors

    Well I figured this would make for a fun thread. I'm playing around with powder coating for the first time. So far I have only done one color but lets see all of yours.

    Just did a batch yesterday of black and white. White needs a second coat. Black looks good.

    Most of them improve significantly in appearance, this is the second coat after sizing.

    I got this powder on a PIF from a nice member here. I don't know it's name, I just call it "orange"- it looks good in solar tinted brass, I think.
