Smoke’s powder, right here on this forum. It works great, and he is always here for support.

[Finster101]

I have purchased several colors from Smoke and have had zero problems.

[gpidaho]

Eastwood powders work well for me. Gp

[Dom]

Try out BCB coating you will never powder coat again.
What is BCB ?

[downzero]

I will also vouch for Smoke. A little goes a long way and lasts a long time. It's proven and does the job. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.

[slohunter]

Smoke & Eastwood, forget HF stuff.

[TjB101]

Eastwood. Watch Loads of bacon on YouTube … he reviews a lot of the Eastwood powders.

[tankgunner59]

+1 for Smoke's powder.

[cwlongshot]

I have had good luck with a BUNCH of products. But Smokes is "ourown" as worth supporting!!

vendor sponsors help fund this very fine forum. vendor sponsors who provide great products with research and forum support are even better. If you are thinking shake n bake (dumped in a pile or standup) you can't possibly go wrong with Smokes' powders.

Search google BCB Coating. The best coating I found in 40+ years of reloading. And they ship local in the US. (Proudly South African)(I have nothing to do with BCB coating only a happy customer)

After reading the instructions on their site it appears to be a lot more complicated then any of the shake and bake powders.

Much more expensive too.

I agree. That is what I thought when I saw: 1) options for 2 or 3 coats, 2) recommendation to rinse bullets before coating, and
3) necessity to dissolve powder in a mix of acetone and pure alcohol.

New to powder coating and have tried the HF white with not so good results. Got some of Smoke's JD Green & Blue and have had very good results.290261290262
I also picked up a couple snap lock bowls from Dollar General which work great but doesn't have the recycle code #5 on them.290263 Added half of a 2000 count bottle of 25gr air soft black BBs to the bowl and followed Smoke's instructions.:bigsmyl2:

Your hard work has earned these accolades. Thank you for your contributions.

Borderline genius is a great place to be :)

I was a HF red till they discontinued it. Next I ordered some from several vendors on line all with good results. All that being said I have settled on smoke's and never looked back. He is consistent and I've have had as good results as any others. I use electrostatic method

If you are new to PC I recommend Smoke's powders have been tested with shake & bake and give great results. So if you have a problem its not the powder! if you are happy there is no reason to look elsewhere.

If you have enough experience and want to branch out as I PC other things other than bullets, I recommend Prismatic Powder online. This is a big company with over 6K powders and finishes and the choice of every PC professional I visited with when I got into PC in 2012. Prismatic is not a reseller they are a powder manufacturer. You can buy a one pound or a thousand. The prices are reasonable the shipping fast and every powder available can be found on their site along with information you should know like price, type, hardness, durability, cure schedule, etc.etc. Every powder will spray, but not all powders will tumble coat, stick with the solid colors for that. There techs are professionals and will share their knowledge, but realize coating bullets is not the normal use of PC.

Support our brother on here! Buy Smoke's powders. Why support other big industrial suppliers?

His powders work every time as they should.

[GregLaROCHE]

Starting with an easy proven powder is t best way to start. You want to keep variables minimized. That way it’s a lot easier to find a problem. Keep your powder free of humidity. And bake extra long in the beginning.

in Canada, Caswell sells Prismatic powders. Tool Blue works great and is their cheapest powder.

[Burnt Fingers]

One thing to watch is people who say I used this companies powder and it worked.

Some of these companies make THOUSANDS of different powders...and not all are suitable or will work. If you use an electrostatic gun almost all powders will work, but when using the BB method they might now.

I prefer powders with a high gloss as I have found they work better than lower gloss powders.

[Taterhead]

High gloss and darker colors tend to work better than lighter in my somewhat limited experience with comor varieties.

[cwlongshot]

I have videos testing many Powder Coat Stores powders. Mostly good some stinkers.
