Default powder for eastwood gun- who's stuff and what colors?

I bought an eastwood gun years ago and finally decided to man up and try it out. Got a super-sized toaster oven today, IR temp gun, and now I'm ready to buy some high temp tape and powder. I have a pound of eastwood gloss black. Wondering what other blacks I should have for the harley. Also, what is a good match for the '90's factory black textured powdercoat? What about a silver color for redoing my corroded shift linkages? Where should I get the powder and what colors are good matches?

Also have a bead blast cabinet on order as well as a bigger Ingersoll compressor.

My son has Eastwoods setup, get the powder from them. The V-twin gloss black matches factory coated parts well. Can't help w/ other colors, never really explored other places to get powder.

No clue about the colors but I also have the Eastwood kit. I picked up an old kitchen oven and set it up in the garage. So easy the results are amazing. Also, Eastwoods black wrinkle matches my Iron's black wrinkle.

Well I got a selection of eastwood powders- v-twin black, satin black, black chrome, wrinkle and texture. I'll have to test out some pieces and see what they look like.

You will wonder why you didnt use it before. I also grabbed a old oven for free from a appliance shop. The upper burners didnt work so out came the top guts .Sheet steel tacked to top.... I like to fab up brackets and other stuff.I powdercoat and people always ask were to get the said bracket.
Get and air dryer for the blast cabinet or its a PITA.

Well I tested it out on my electrical box and battery box covers. Works great! The blasting takes the longest, then a little "pre" spray and wipe, powder and bake!

Got any pics? I always play with the idea of trying it out myself.

I do on my computer at home. I'll post them after work. Here's one shot I have from a distance. Did the battery cover in "black chrome"
