Has anyone located a source for Wimbledon White Powder Coat?

I have access to Powder Coat equipment and I would like to Powder Coat my stock wheels To match my top.

Cardinal powder BG-01 almond. I use it on all my whimbleton white requests. It's the closest I've found.
My wheels are powder the top is paint. I think the top is just a bit lighter but close enough for me. Paint suppliers have three or four different codes for Wimbledon white.

Thanks for the information! About how much Powder should it take for 4 wheels? I'm not looking for exact numbers because I should like to have excess to use on future parts. I just don't want to buy 10 times more than I need.

Krawlers Egde powder coated a cage for me in WW. I haven't picked it up yet, so I'm not sure if it's WW or the Almond color mentioned earlier. FYI

It all depends on your equipment and skills. I can powder a set of four wheels with about two pounds of powder. Also are you going to cold shoot them or will you attempt the hot shoot?
Another tip I can give you that if the wheels are used buy a dental pick and scrape the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring to get the smootz out. Also a good idea to pre burn the wheels at a higher temp than you cute the powder. That way all the crap will burn out first and you can reclean them so you don't waste your powder. This is a red one I shot the other day.
Let us know how it all turns out.

Any suggestions on a code for getting close to an original argent color ? Thanks.

I use a color called Greenland silver. Prismatic powders PMB-5495.

I have zero Powder Coat experience but my son in law is a member at a local maker space that has the equipment and people that will help. I have the stock hubcaps so while I would like mine to look as nice as yours, I really only need the outer ring to look good.

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a source for Cardinal Powder in the 4-5 lb quantity?

 

[doghows72]

Try here. http://www.cardinalpaint.com/powder/ They should have a distributor in your area. If not let me know and I'll get you the number of my supplier in Seattle.

We just buy it directly from Cardinal. The min. quantity is 5 lbs. Usually it's about $10-12/lb in the 5lb quantity. Less at 25lbs and then 50lbs. I have some of that almond color that I might shoot a sample of and compare to my dash.

I'd also recommend shooting a base coat of zinc rich epoxy primer prior to the topcoat.

Matching colors....

Your dash is likely Parchment, not Wimbledon white.
