keep on rolling along.no matter what happens just keep rolling
Eastwood for the Ford light blue, and I've used powder by the pound and prismatic powders with good results, but I recommend starting with Eastwood since it's a really great, easy powder to use. After that if you want to experiment with other colors, you can, because not all powders will work well

I use smoke’s powder. He is one of us, and is always there to answer any questions you may have. Also, his powder works great. Go to vendor sellers smoke’s corner. Good prices, fast shipping, professional advice, I have never felt the need to shop around.
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
the Coatings and Alternatives subforum a few clicks below this one has way more info than elvis ammo. Smokes is a board sponser and MANY of us use his offerings. look in the swap n sell for his add/products.

You do know there is an entire section in here on powder coating.

I will give another thumbs up to the powders that Smoke4320 sells right here on this site.
I've used his Jet Black, Signal Blue, White Aluminum, Traffice Purple, Yellow Green, and Traffic Yellow. All but the latter coat well by dry tumbling. And the latter coats functionally but is not as aesthetically colored as the others. Sometimes mixing them makes them coat even better.

Don't know which is better, smoke's powder or the amount of knowledge he brings to the table.
Huge plus having smoke on this sight & the ability to ask him questions.
Been using smoke's powder since he started selling it on this website & follow a lot of his posts picking up on bits of info here and there to this day.
Don't trust info given on youtube by ellvis......or any other clown on there.
Trust this forum for the latest and greatest info
Cure at 400F every time!
Smoke's powders are the best. He is one of us and tests everything out before he offers it for sale. It will work great for you!
Eliminate one the many variables of PC'ing and get a good powder proven to work an follow the curing instructions to a tee.

I've used Powder by the Pound, Powder 365, and Prismatic Powders . Had good luck with all three, I think the color and type of powder you pick, along with your technic go a long ways towards success. MHO
Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
Smoke's powder!

Amen ... I'll second that ... I watched a Horror Show reloading expert and he was wrong on so many levels . Say's he's loading with black powder ... the powder's color was black ... but the can had Bullseye on the lable ... a full case of black bullseye powder will take a old 38 S&W top break apart ...Originally Posted by bangerjim
and this fool blames the GUN !
Just Don't Go There ...Please !!!
Smoke is a member and maybe a Vendor ...look for his powders , good people .

Good advice for any video on any subject on youtube.
I will admit I have gotten ideas from there, but I always run them past the "Does this make sense to me" part of my brain.

Agree with the advice given so far. I have a pile of Smoke's powders and also use Prismatic Powders. In my experience I find the more glossy the powder, the better the coating. I also mix some clear in every color I use as I'm not bothered by a mottled color and the clear helps with a good single coat.
