    whats your fav. eastwood hotcoat powder coat?

    I hated all the harbor fright stuff and other stuff I could rummage up around town then after watching enough YouTube I made the move to east wood powders for the Elvis Ammo style ford light blue and it works wonderfully. I'm starting to run low on it and was thinking about changing colors so what's you guys favs from Eastwood?

    Eastwood Hotcoat Powder Coat Full Gloss Clear. Good stuff. Clear hides any little coverage flaws.

    I've never used Eastwood powders so can't say anything about it. I have used many Smoke's powders and lately I use Prismatic Powders. As I already use Cerakote, it was easy to order Prismatic as they are the same company. I never considered there could be so many colors available and shipping couldn't be much faster unless I lived near the company.

    Regardless, I only use high gloss powders and usually mix some high gloss clear in all of my powders. It's magic...

    Eastwood neon green and light ford blue work well for me. I tumble to apply and bake for 25 min or so. Takes 4 to 5 min for the powder to reflow. Also Smoke's tractor green worked very well for me.

    Ford Light Blue. Simply because it seems to coat the best for me. Maroon in a close second, for the same reason.

    The Eastwood powders I have tried so far.

    Ford light Blue good
    Ford dark blue good
    Mirror red good
    Lime green good
    V twin orange no good did not want to stick.

    I live in Phoenix and have to wait for cooler temps before ordering more, even the heat from the mailbox starts the bake reaction.

    I use different colors to identify the different bullet profiles so I will try some more of them from the recommendations on this thread.
