    Default Best Powder Paint?


    Is there a "best" powder paint out there? Just curious as to what everyone feels is the best powder paint for the money. I have bought some from ebay with no name and seems to work ok but I needs to know if there is better!

    Haven't got a bad one yet. Have Janns, ProTec, Columbia Coatings and some Roseys from trading. Have clear from Orbit, ProTec and Columbia. The only one I have a real problem with is the White from Janns, it's just a heavy powder but added some clear and it flowed better.

    I've mixed colors using different brands and had no problems.

    Component Systems private labels for several of those mentioned above I believe.
    You can buy direct from C.S. if bought in bulk.
    If I dont ask its my fault for not knowing

    Colombia but buying more recently from Rosey's. They have a 200 glass clear coat that works fantastic in a fluid bed with glitter for that 2nd dip.

    I got some powder from predator lures (ebay) and the powder is sometimes to chunky and does not fluid well in the bed.
    Since I started to buy from Crazy Angler the powders are all fine and fluid well in the bed.
    Think I will go with all the ones you guys have posted about from now on. Thanks guys.

    Get you a old fashioned hand crank sifter, set it in a coffee filter. Pour that lumpy paint in and sift it a couple of times. Then mix it with some Rosies clear and it should work.
