mkvnmtr Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Here in Mexico the only powder coating I have found is made by Du Pont. I beleive their brand is Alesta. I know I can import other brands from some of my state side suppliers but I want to buy in bulk and it will be much easier to have a local supplier. Does anyone have any experience using Du Pont powders? When I look at most of the powder sellers in the US I get the impression that much of it is repackaged in their brand name. No one seems to be making and selling their own product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have used many Dopunt powder paints and they are very high quality and excellent to use for jigs. You should have no problem with it. I have not used the Allesta brand but I have used many of the others. You will be very happy with it. Personaly I use very little Pro-Tec powder paints do to the extreme cost, which in my opinion is unwarranted. But then again that is my opinion. I have posted here a list of other powder companies out there that are excellent for jigs and cost less than 1/2 of Protec. To each his own.

mkvnmtr Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 That is good to hear. It is really what I thought but I had never heard of Du Pont powder paint. I agree with you on the cost of Pro Tec and some others. Most Columbia Coating paints seem to be around $10 a pound. Besides I do not think I would have a use for two oz of paint. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found there site and seen the color they have.<br /><br /><br /><br />I am looking for a local supplier. I have found that it Du Pont has distribution to Mexico and I have found a local paint shop that handles their products. My next step is to go to the shop and see if they can order paint for me. Powder paint is used in a factory setting so we do not think we will find someone here selling it but it is used a lot in Monterey. Thus I feel that someone dealing with Du Pont should have no trouble ordering it for me. I have found no one selling it on line. Remember I am in Mexico so ordering from the states if possible but takes longer to arrive. My Google search results are different from yours because I am in Mexico but I would assume the same will work for you . Find a local paint dealer that handles Du Pont and ask if they can order powder paint, I get the impression that a lot of their paint is packaged and sold for other brands.
