Display Color Availabilty

[bkoenig]

How do you guys display color availabilty to your customers?
Besides the web-site of course. What I am looking for, is there a color wheel, or brochure that Caswell offers for their customers.
Thanks for info

I have them close their eyes and say, that is black. when do you want it HB fuller offered a free color wheel you can get. Now it will have a lot of colors that caswell has but they are not all the same. some are different.

I have a store front that I have many items powder coated in many of the colors I stock. For the colors I don't have in stock. I have the HB Fuller color wheel along with color wheels from other suppliers.
But the powdered items on display really sell better than then the colors on the wheels.
When I use a special color that a customer has asked for. I always powder a small scrap of metal and then have the customer come back in to "OK" the color, before I PC their items. Ask me why

Thanks guys.
I kind of figured an actual display is your best selling point.
When I get my blaster situation straightened out, I planned on coating several old and or non-items (old tonka truck bed, caliphers from my motorcycles etc)
I know if I were a customer, I would prefer to see a example in person. Displays would be great for the consumer that doesn' know for sure what pc'ing is.

Like the close your eyes comment, funny...

I thought the "wrenches idea" displayed in the album was clever (small, multi-use, customer friendly, etc...).

I am starting to do a few fender washers when ever I do a different color or have just alittle powder left of a color. A friend of mine had key chain tags made and did them all in different colors to pass out.

Anyone have a link to that HB Fuller wheel? I think I ordered one about 6 months ago, but I never got it.
