Powder Coat Color Suggestions?

[deadbolt at mindspring.com (S. Coleman)]

Rick,... not to "bash" eastwoods colors or anything,...but they suck
compared to what's available from commercial powdercoaters.  Their colors
are not as vibrant and the shine is just not there IMHO.  I have been using
Columbia colors and some local stuff for the past two years and the results
are much better.  (prices are too!)  I'm not sure if Josh has unpacked his
stuff from me yet,... but if he has he can attest to the red that Columbia
sells.  If ya want some pics I can send them to you privately.  Also,...
here is Columbia's site addy so you can see their stuff.
http://columbiacoatings.com/   (BTW,... their translucent, black chrome, and
chrome are REALLY nice!)
HTH,
Chris
