Powder Coating
Leanna, Your powder coating work looks super. I love the 2 tone stuff !!
Great job on the pix that change. I'm still new to the computer, but an old dog does learn new trix. :read2:
Can you coat pieces the yellow color in my avatar, and if so, what do I need to send you for color match ???
Thanks 6pk! Those Indys are actually a two-stage job, Wilder Red over Silk Satin Black, giving it a black cherry look; the lettering was done just in the Wilder Red. The red metal flake doesn't show up very well in the pictures, so I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow in the sunlight. (I'm always surprised when I get done in the shop for the day and it's DARK outside LOL ... the time sure flies when ya love what you do every day!)
If you click on the "Color Charts" tab on my website, you'll see a bunch of folders on the left all broken down into basic hues (reds, blues, yellows, etc.). There's over 6,500 colors, textures and finishes available -- 808 of those are on my website -- so I'm pretty certain your yellow is in there. Once you find a few that you like, let me know what the part numbers are and I can order you color swatches from my powder supplier and send them to you through the mail so you'll have something to hold in your hand and compare with your car. (They'll supply not only the specific ones you request, but swatches of similar colors they already make too.) The best part:
Color swatches are FREE! You might also want to look through the greens because some are very yellow/green.
If by some
very small chance your exact color isn't yet a powder, you can send me a paint sample (preferably shot on the same metal as the part(s) you want coated), I can send it to my supplier, and they'll make it for you. It costs $120 for the color-matching service, but that includes two pounds of your powder -- more than enough to coat your parts. To date though, every one of my customers has been successful in picking their exact color from the existing swatches without having to spend the extra cash on the color matching service.
Thanks for your wonderful comments about my work. I look forward to having you as a new customer when you're ready to get some stuff done, and am happy to answer any questions you might have in the meantime.
