You can get a catalog from Caswell. It has all the products they offer and several pages of color charts for powders.

You can also buy a "color wheel" from Caswell for about $10. It is small samples of the actual cured powder. It is only from one of their distributors though, so it won't be all of the colors Caswell sells. I don't think it is listed on the sight but call them and the salesperson can help you.

Once you start PCing, you'll want actual "Coupons" of the colors you have on hand. I liked the diamond plate used by someone and had our local sheet metal shop make us a bunch. I like them a lot!

I hear that. I am in the same boat here. Acctually, I just quit my last job and start a new job the end of the month. I was working 110Mi away from home, a heck of a commute.

Mike, are you talking about samplers to give your customers? about how big did you have them made? that's a great idea though, I might have to look into something like that

Yes, but we don't let the samples go out of the shop unless it's someone we know well. They are 4" by 6" with a small hole to hang them by on a nice black velvet display we are making.
The sheet metal shop made them cheaply as they have a bunch of diamond plate scrap left over from various jobs. All they had to do was chop them up. I sanded the rough edges and then PC with what we have on hand.
I just made a sample of mirror black on a 12" x 12" sheet of galv that I use to demonstrate the fleability of the coatings which I just learned about!!!
