Harbor Freight Powder Coat Paint

[Luremaker]

I am almost out of the powder coat I purchased a few years back from Eastwoods and noticed that Harbor freight has a few colors at $4.99 lb. Has anyone tried Harbor Freight's Powder Coat? If so how do you like it compared to other brands.

16 Oz. Powder Coat Paint, Red

Well yesterday I picked up a lb of Harbor Freight's powder coat in red, yellow, black and white. I give it a try and take a few pictures.

How do you bake the paint after spraying it?

Can these colors be mixed for a different shade?

I bake it in an old kitchen oven I have in my shop ay 350-400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. I have used several brands of powder paint before with excellent results.

My neighbor built a large walk in oven to bake larger pieces.

I have blended other polyester powder coats before with good results but have not tried blending Harbor Freight's powder coat. BTW, Harbor Freight's powder coat is made in India.

Thanks.

I picked up an HF Powder Coater at a yard sale recently ($10 - missing the scatter tips) and plan to use a yard sale toaster oven ($1) to bake the small items I will coat.

India - interesting.

What type of element did your neighbor use to heat the walk-in oven?

I would imagine the elements looked something like this to heat a walk in oven.
