Where to buy powder?

Silly Rabbit · 09-04-2014, 08:42 AM

We have a powder coat system at work and I can get my wheels done for the cost of the powder. I have a set of stock 18" and want to make them metallic gunmetal. I looked through our supplier's colors and didn't see anything I liked. Does anyone know where to get powder in a color similar to the 40th anniversary?

We use powderbythepound, but when I searched, I only saw gunmetal steel pearlescent. The reference picture doesn't look so great.

Can you recommend a color that is close to the 40th?

I think Galaxy Grey with Clear Vision may be close.

I haven't worked with the galaxy gray. I like their smoke chrome with clear, it matches the GTR gunmetal.

for a gunmetal with a metallic, I like their heavy steel. for a darker gunmetal, lazer crystal is really nice. all from NIC
