    Powder coating powder supplier

    Looking to get my first lot of powder for coating cast bullets.

    What/who are the best brands/sources in NZ? Not looking for huge quantities to start. Prob just 2-3 colour's to try.

    Have a good benchtop electric oven for the job.

    Cheers
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    Ford Blue is the colour to begin with. Effortless to get a good result.

    Anyone tried using an air fryer for PC bullets? Seems ideal size, but is heat control not good enough maybe? Keen to jump on this band wagon as well.

    Any other colours good to use apart from Ford light blue? Just thinking 2 colours would be good to differentiate sub and super loads...

    I picked this up in a Hospice Shop for $80. Near $300 New at the time. Needed cleaning but a current Electric WOF and excellent temp control. Breville, microwave size.
