If you have colors you don't like, swap them with another forum member or sell them on fleabay.
Some of the pictures didnt look like the powder at all namely "Teal" the pic is light blue and the color is very dark like bluejean blue.
Sure it was marked correctly?
second the boxes I do are very small and I dont think I would ever use 1 pound of color in a year! alot of it is just going to go to waste.
Most places offer powders in half pounders. A lot of the sample sets are 8 ounces per color.
I just think it would be great to be able to get the powder in like 1/4lb sizes and maybe make the min order of 3 different colors for the regular price of 1lb? and just ship the color in plasic bags to save some $$ on containers? just an idea.

I know I would be alot more inclined to buy multiple colors just to try them out. I cant really afford to buy 4 or 5 more colors that I cant use.
If you have colors you don't like, swap them with another forum member or sell them on fleabay.
even if you guys could put up pictures of the raw powder, that would give me a better idea of what I would want to order. paint chips suck!
Close to 100% of the time the powder will never look like the final result.
The sample chips or uploaded pictures of the finished product are the way to go.

thanks guys,
PS I really really hate using spray paint!
I don't think that it would work out selling 4 ounce packages.
