I tried Columbia Coatings powder paint. It seems to clump pretty good and doesn't cover evenly. Also when curing it drips pretty good. The powder also doesn't seem as fluid as Pro-Tec. Although it is cheaper.

Dayooper,
Have had the same issues with Color-rite paint as well. Have found by mixing pro-tech clear (or other pro-tech colors) up to a 50/50 mix (depending on effect) helps alleviate the clumping and that helps with the even coating. Also, instead of dipping, the shaker method (mentioned in the Powder Painting tutorial) will help.

I use an industrial heat gun, that has temperature control, to pre-heat and reheat jigs (for two tone painting or adding a clear coat). Usually set the temp between 300 and 325, heats the jig enough for the paint to stick and easy enough to clean the eyes. Then the jig goes into the toaster oven to cure at the normal cure temp for a minimum of 25 minutes. Works on jigs up to 2 oz.

LedHed,

I have not tried other powder paint other than Columbia Coatings and Pro-tech. I have kind of moved away from powder painting my spinner blades until I make enough to start playing again. Thanks for the tip!

I get from CSI, their prices are a little high, but I have been trying to find a supplier with just a few of the florescent colors, and I have had no luck. I do need to get some more powder in a couple of weeks, maybe we could all go together and get a bunch to save funds. I can even pick the stuff up if we would have enough to warrant it. I usually get 5 to 10#'s at a time, but I live only 2 hrs. away. PM me, I won't guarnatee that I will set it all up, but, if I get enough requests, I might.

For those of you who may not know, CSI makes the pro tec powder (or they say they do). I pay about $13.50/# plus with bigger orders you get a discount.

Tally,
Have you looked a Rosey's Powder Coating. She is one of our advertisers on TU. She has some nice colors and really good prices. I find that the paint works well in a fluid bed or when sprayed. Here is the link.
