What are your favorite powder coating colors?

My top 2 are:

Cardinal WHITE HAMMER T013-WH09 With ASBBDT this powder changes everything you use it and it enhances whatever you blend it with [This powder sticks great; you can ASBBDT, dump it on a baking screen and the boolits won't stick together]

Mix = 50/50 gloss black and white, I think it's Sherwin Williams but not sure of that, I've been using this powder prolly 4 years now & forget the name brand.

I'm using Eastwood Blue. I have it and it works that makes it my favorite....

[gnappi]

I'm not powder coating long enough to have sampled more than a couple of dozen colors and formulations but it so happens that the ones I liked the best worked the best and I stopped looking at other color variatons.

The John Deere Green (HB Fuller) , Teal (Govesan polyester) and the burgundy (HB Fuller TGIC ) are my faves. They all give great coverage with SnB although a few (active blue&purple, and mil blue) come out lumpy. They shoot just fine though.

Think my favorite so far is mixing my green blue orange and black to make a od green sort of color

camo looking bullets seem fitting to me

[Conditor22]

Not to be overly picky, please be more detailed on the powder name, manufacturer, and exact blend ratio

OSOK what powders/ blend ratio make up "old lead?"
GARD72977 Eastwood makes a lot of blue powders, which one is this?
bmortell without percentages and powder names/manufacturers, we can't duplicate this.

Smoke's clear

[bmortell]

shoot i dont really have a formula i kinda mixed by eye after getting an idea from googling color mixer. but i used smokes jet black, signal blue, jd green. my orange is virginia tech orange from pbtp but smokes orange or any other normal orange would work fine.

but anywho OD green recipe is approx. 1 part orange, 1 part blue, 0.75 part green, 2 parts black. if it turns out vomit green you probably need more black

color mixer says that gives OD green, could proably get it better than mine i only tried once or twice

[JM7.7x58]

Eastwood Hotcoat Powder Coat Full Gloss Clear. It shake n’ bakes great using only a red plastic Forgers coffee can. Around here our humidity stays pretty constant at around 40%, I get good coverage at that humidity.

Eastwood Cadillac Blue. Beautiful!

[Hickok]

Smoke's clearSame here! Covers nice and smooth, and keeps that newly castboolit, shiney-silver look.

Just perfect for werewolf hunting!:bigsmyl2:

[blikseme300]

John Deere green or clear.

Bright yellow purchased on ePay w/a dash of HF Red splashed on top

[RKJ]

I'm using Smoke's Blue, Black, Silver and Bacon grease, I have more but I use these the most and mix them to make combos I like.

[DHDeal]

Any of the high gloss blues with clear added for a translucent shade. I also like red, bright green, purple, black, clear, and bloody stool (my Supreme invention). What the heck, I'll admit it, I have a color problem.

All of my colors are high gloss.

[Mjdd23]

I use Smoke's powders. They all work well but I mostly use the Carolina blue and clear. The black and white speckled ones look good too,like a granite kind of.

Ripol - brand from Italy, non -TGIC. Red/white & yellow/white,they cover better when mixed.

[JWFilips]

I do Not do colors! I want a coating that is easy and coats great every time .....Smoke's Clear hands down!

[derek45]

Smokes clear and Carolina blue, but I want to get some red and orange to try next

I use smoke's safety cone orange, bright green, and bacon grease. The more outlandish and bright, the better.

[GARD72977]

I'm using Eastwood Blue. I have it and it works that makes it my favorite....
Ford Blue. This color by Easwood seems to work well for most people.

I was using Harbor Freight Red. I was having trouble and tried a lot of different techniques without satisfactory results.

I use the Eastwood Ford Blue in a Frankford Arsenal vibrating tumbler. I add a couple spoons of powder and a hundred or so bullets. I tumble for 30mins. Pour bullets in a mesh of some sorts. Shake mesh basket over paper to remove excess powder (save and reuse powder). The amount of powder is not exact. You just use more powder than needed. I get great results with this method.

I don't care about color. I just want it to work.

Eastwood makes a powder that produces a reflective chrome finish. Wondering if that coating contains any metals ? Anyone ever tried it ? I know they have another coating which when applied over the reflective chrome produces a bright penny copper appearance. Thoughts, comments, experieneces ?

[Huskerguy]

All my powders come from Smoke. Carolina Blue covers well, Flame Red is pretty good, traffic Orange is not very good, but clear is the bomb. Goes on very even and sticks very well.
