cadman Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Close is a relative term. If you want colors to look like Pro-Tec colors, then you need to buy Pro-Tec powder, or do what I did and have your colors custom matched. Different monitors and different pictures do not always match to what you will get. I've been down this long road, and unless you are willing to be real flexible on color variations, do some trial and error on your part, it is always best to stay with the manufacturer you are familiar with.

andy1976 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I've been down this road. I believe your looking forward flourecent green, fluorescent yellow, and neon pink. I really like Columbia powder. I may have a pic if you need. Good luck Edited August 12, 2016 by andy1976 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) Cadman is spot on, however if you want to branch out the powder coat suppliers, in my opinion have colours that are far better than the pro tec range. Golds, chromes, metallic finishes, dormets, veins etc Edited August 13, 2016 by edgecrusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I too have tried a lot of different powder and here is what I do. I stay with Columbia Coatings now that I have the base colors down. The only pro-tec I use anymore are some of their glitter colors I haven't been able to blend myself, specifically the watermelon pepper, Alewife, and copperhead.

JLS Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I do not have an answer to your question but thought I would make sure that you knew, you can buy Pro Tech by the pound. They also sell the Chrome color but I do not think that it is listed on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW Lures Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) X2 with Cadman. You are not going to get the same colors from batch to batch. The manufacturers try to keep the colors close. It could even be you, you may not be heating the piece up hotter then you did the last one. Or your oven is not heating evenly. Go with what you like and learn to mix/create other colors with the manufacture(s) colors, as others has stated already.
