simple Hi-Tek coating

[Avenger442]

Joe
I know you have been trying to make a medium blue blue for a while and I appreciate your effort. Some of those colors look interesting. And agree with Trevor on a couple of them. One of them, second row far left, reminds me of the color of a friends car in High School. We called it Woodall ....... green. His name was Woodall.

Appreciate you sharing the info. From my experience your right about the annealing but not heat treated at 400 F. And I'm going to try, with Popper's help, adding some copper to alloy today. It looks like what I would like to use in a hollow point that I have been wanting to cast. Need the extra tough to hold the tip together.

Anyway, did you try running any through the rifles with just the HiTek coating and no traditional lube?

"Experimentation" ain't it great!

[BABore]

I did, but they were WD from a 425 F oven with only 10 minutes cook time. Not a fair test to be sure. Didn't harden enough and left lead wash in the bbl. You can get accuracy with some wash in the bbl, but the fouling will eventually bust you.

That Tan Olive and Blush Copper look pretty good.

[HI-TEK]

A couple of other new colours not made commercially but I have ingredients.

[Ausglock]

Orange K64 is what I would call burnt Orange.
Yellow K151 is more Tan than Yellow.
The Green 730N has to be mixed 20gms to 150mls as it was so intense. A very nice Dark green.

[Kitika]

I like that green! I think I need some more colours now.

[Ausglock]

I think you will find that it is Spartan's green, but in powder.
Probably not available in OZ.

[TexasGrunt]

I want that GREEN! That's one we should have here in the US!

That orange is really nice too.

[Hi-Performance Bullet Coatings]

I want that GREEN! That's one we should have here in the US!

That orange is really nice too.

I will be adding some of the Orange and Green to the current order if possible.

[Redwoode]

I like that dark green too. It all solid or some metallic as well?

For you guys that coat with 3 coats do you coat all 3 coats at 100 ML acetone to 20 grams powder or do you thin the last coat? If you do what ML do you coat the 3rd batch at? If using the 100ML 20 grams for 3 coats will it chip?

[TexasGrunt]

I will be adding some of the Orange and Green to the current order if possible.

AWESOME! I hope you can get it. I'll be buying it as soon as it shows up.

[Ausglock]

The Green 730N is non metallic. Neither is the orange.
I tried adding some Gold 1035 to the orange, but it went dark brown like a turd.

[benellinut]

Boy you guys opened a can o' worms offering to look into more colors....... Very nice of you but I think you'll regret it.....

Note my sig line, true words. LoL

[TonyN]

Hi-Tek or Ausglock i have a question
For you guys that coat with 3 coats do you coat all 3 coats at 100 ML acetone to 20 grams powder or do you thin the last coat? If you do what ML do you coat the 3rd batch at? If using the 100ML 20 grams for 3 coats will it chip?

[Ausglock]

Don't do 3 coats.
If I'm covering a horrible test colour, I'll do 2 extra coats of black still at 20gms to 100mls MEK.
So that will be 4 coats(2 test and 2 black)

[TonyN]

Will 3 coats at 100 ml 20 gram chip?

[AbitNutz]

Are you guys all this enamored over colors normally or am I missing something? I started with bronze and continued with bronze and will likely stay with bronze. I like bronze but if I didn't. I'm not sure it would matter...

Is there something about the different colors that I don't understand?

[fivel_976]

Got my powder today only bad things was the lid on the black was loose so everything in the package was covered in black powder

[Lakehouse2012]

Your post above reminds me that Joe should consider other containers with rounder bottom corners for the powder. 2 of mine shipped with stress fractures on corners and i could see near the impact are that moisture got in and coagulated in that area.
