Andrews Powder Coating, Inc. is proud to currently hold over 600 stock and custom color blends! We feature the highest quality powders, ranging from epoxies to urethanes, hybrids and acrylics. We have earned a reputation for being able to custom match any custom color and texture.


Liquid paint and powders are NOT categorized the same way! They rarely have
a cross reference to each other. If you are searching for a special color or custom
blend, we request that you send us an exact color sample that you are trying to
match (via mail, not over the internet). It is quite possible that the color you are
looking for will be a relatively easy color match!


In liquids, to create the color ‘pink’, you start with a can of liquid red and a can of liquid white. Creating pink comes from adding red liquid paint into the white liquid paint until the desired shade is achieved. In powder blends, you may start with a box of white pigment and add some red pigment, but this is only the beginning. Extrusion/grinding involves premixing the pigments with all the other ingredients of the formulation followed by extrusion using a single or twin-screw compounder. The extrudate is then milled to a controlled particle size and sieved into dry powder form. Only now are we ready to spray our pink sample to see if the desired shade has been achieved.

If the process above did not yield the desired shade, the mixture is discarded and the entire process starts again from the very beginning! You can clearly see that the time invested along with technology and science behind custom blending and extruding powders is much more difficult than simply mixing liquid paint!

Since the inception of our business here, we have had a lot of fun creating custom blended colors from items such as bricks, stones, items found in magazines, liquid match to house trim, color blends to match all domestic and foreign automobiles and motorcycle parts, bark from trees, clouds in the sky, and even a ‘creamy vanilla’, curiously designed to tempt your taste buds!

Please note that the charts shown above are for reference purposes only. Your ability to view the quality, style and hues of these basic color choices is based on your own computers’ color showing ability. For instance, on your computer to you, RAL-3000 Flame Red may look exactly like the color that your piece needs, however, that shade may have been slightly skewed during the color transmission capabilities.

Custom colors, textures, hammertones, fluorescents, combinations, fades, candies, metallics, clears, anti-graffiti, glitters, dormants, pearlescents, chromes, aged metals, transparents, and many other special effects are all possible here at Andrews Powder Coating!
