I have fooled around with powder coating and lots of different colors. Custom colors are what I want though. I can not find the exact color that I am wanting. So my question is this: Can I create my own Powder coat color by thoroughly mixing powders together? If I were to mix them would it create more of a (ex.) red and green sparkle or would the flow out of the powder blend them in together nicely?

 

depends on the powders and colors.

I blend custom mixes all the time.

 

So what have been your experiences? What colors and powders can you not mix? I am using the Eastwood powdercoats.

 

What can you NOX mix. I dono.. so far Ive like everything Ive mixed.

I cant say much for the eastwood powders I didnt like em. just didnt flow well or hold up to my likings.

I now use Tyger drylac,prismatic, ppg,dupont, powders.

What color are you looking to acheive. I might be able to get that color for you not mixing products.

 

I have a the purple color on a 92 camaro. I am wanting a high gloss purple that is a little brighter than the color of the car itself. Any places that come to mind? I have had trouble with flow out rates. Putting a clear coat on anything that already has a powder coat on it is very hard, almost impossible. Of course it could just be that the original coating is too thick.
