Powder coating question

[Ian]

My stepfather, who bled, raced, and dreamed in Ford Blue, built a 350 Chevy engine for my first vehicle. I took the '46 Chevy pickup down to the frame and rebuilt all the suspension, steering, and brakes myself, and while I was busy with that he took the old worn-out junkyard engine I had come up with and turned it into something special. I'll never forget the day he brought it to me on a trailer, all decked out with chromed tin and headers....and every cast iron surface was painted that beautiful, bright, shiny FORD BLUE!

I told him I it didn't matter what bastard color he painted it, it was still going to be a Chevrolet, and we had a good laugh. Very sadly he's gone now, but 28 years and 240,000 miles later, that blue bowtie engine still runs.

Sorry for the drift here SH. Thought I'd throw it out that you can make any orange you want by mixing the harbor freight colors. I made an orange very close to what you seek. Used it on low velocity bullets and some chevy brackets. Think yella n red then tint with black or white but black don't work great on bullets. You can make any color save for those that require blue.

You have primary, secondary, & tertiary colors.

I'm thinking I want to get some better paint then the harbor freight. I've got it working well, time to step it up and try something different

SH; if you've mastered using HF paint, you'll love Smoke's powder paints. What is immediately noticeable is how fine the pwd is and how easy it is to get to stick with the shake n bake method.

 

[Ian]

HF paints are epoxy. You want Polyester TGIC-crosslinked powders instead.

Point being if you get primary colors you can make all others instead of buying each color.

I see both critters are leading neglected, deprived lives.

It's Brad's fault, he started the deflection.

 

[Brad]

Nah, it just happened out of the blue. Ford blue, right off that color wheel.

Why would anyone want yeller bullets? My guns don't want no sissies.

 

[Gary]

My guns shoot the "yeller" bullets straighter than blue bullets.

 

[Ian]

The correct spelling is "yaller". Sheesh.

 

[Brad]

Yaller? I thought that was a term used by Ben in saying things like "Yaller way off topic".

 

[Gary]

I think Brad's right on that one.
