Does anyone sell small quantities of powder for powder coating? I found a company that powder coats wheels, but they do not have any Model A colors. They are located near Knoxville, Tennessee.

Richard, just order 5 pound quantities from Tiger Drylac. You will need approximately 1 lb per wheel.

My current need is for Model A Straw color. I looked at Tiger Drylac color charts and did not find a close match for an old wheel that I had painted years ago with Acrylic Enamel Straw. The formula for that came from a local reliable paint store.
The closest Tiger Drylac color that I found was between Bengal Yellow and New Cat Yellow.
Their closest "RAL" color was RAL 1004.
I would like to know what Tiger Drylac color someone else might be using for their Straw color. Thanks.

FWIW,
I used some of the Eastwood and other lower cost powders.
Bought some Tiger Drylac and it works better with my cheapo Caswel Plating gun.
I did my wheels in black so color finding was easy. Brent helped a lot with his various comments over time.

Funny how folks get EXCITED about Powder Coating! Originally, it was developed as a QUICK, CHEAP way to paint bare metal products.

Yes Richard, "closest" is all you are going to get. Generally RAL1001 or 1002 is going to be the closest however as suggested above, you probably want to have a sample shipped in from Tiger Drylac of the colors you are considering.

Why do you have to use an electric oven and not a gas oven. Never done powder coating before.

Thanks to all for your time and suggestions. I checked the colors posted by Tiger Drylac that Brent suggested. The powder coater that I am dealing with has a color similar to those, so that is what I will use. Thanks again, Richard Lorenz
