Default Powder Coating Supplies

How many of you do your own powder coating?

After obtaining a used oven and a powder coating "system" from Harbor Freight, I powder coated several brackets off my 76. I made a small "booth" from a JC Penney"s box and made the plunge. The results were very good - makes you want to remove more to coat!!!

Where is the best place to get your supplies? Who has the closest match to Chevy Orange Red?

Geez - At this rate, I'll never get my 78 done

Eastwood has a lot of powdercoating supplies. Their prices are a bit high sometimes but the quality is usually very good.

No, unfortunately I don't have any powdercoating equipment. I have bought Rust Encapsulator and Chassis Black from Eastwood so I get catalogs all the time. I would expect that their Chevy Orange would be a good match since they specialize in restoration supplies.
