    Without heating elements or fans I'm curious just how it heats the boolits. Infrared? Doesn't seem too likely. It's got me puzzled.

    Well... Joe has done it this time...
    Wait till you see the 2 new colours.

    The new Metallic Kinky Pink.
    And the New Metallic Hydra Blue.
    Tested them today and I am impressed.
    The Hydra Blue is really nice. Lighter than the Tru Blu and better coverage.
    Still bakes at 195Deg C for both.
    I'll post photos of them tomorrow. it was late when I finished and I want to get them in the daylight.

    Looking at blue colour charts, Hydra Blue and Carolina Blue are close to this new blue...Hydra Blue sounds better...lol
    Hooroo.

    Awesome. That blue looks great.

    Might get some kinky pink for minor loads and blue for major.

    Thanks Trev, that's pretty impressive then, getting it to work in an enclosed environment like that.

    You probably test shot some this week end.
    I would like to have seen reaction of your fellow shooters when you flashed out the Pink coated ammo.
    Did it match your pink cap and shirt? LOL LOL

    Lots of research and testing. The results are really amazing, beyond what I was even hoping for. Still working on many more ideas.

    Shooting them Tomorrow...
    These are Pearl fleck, rather than the normal Metallic.
    I'm doing a 75% Pink and 25% Blue mix to see if it will go purple....Ya never know..

    Here they are.:
    Hydra Blue


    Kinky Pink
    Hooroo.

    They turned out far better than i expected, i was thinking of Tru-blu but metalic, these are way better. The lipstick looks like just that, lipstick.

    Joe, you have out done yourself yet again.

    I'm really liking that blue, i think some of this will be coming home with me next time i order

    They look good. Joe’s hard work on blue is paying off.

    I’m interested in the outcome of the two colours mixed, whether it will produce a purple. Not sure but may give a darker or dirty purple. Will have to wait and see.

    OH MAN!

    Those are GREAT!!!

    Now I just have to wait for them to come to the US.

    That blue looks better than Tru Blue IMHO.

    Ok, I started following this thread when it started, then dropped out of relaoding for a bit.

    What method is this? And where do I find these powders?

    Thanks.

    The coating is Hi Tek Supercoat produced by Mr. Joe Ban from Australia. And it just so happens that you have a guy right there in Louisiana that distributes it. Donnie Miculek Hi Performance Bullet Coating (225) 324-4501 (old Bayou Bullets).

    The system comes in either a two part liquid (old stuff) or the newer powder forms. Both mix with acetone or MEK to produce a liquid coating which is baked on. More details from Donnie.

    While I work at it, it is by God's grace that it happens. So it is best I ask him what, how and when before I start..

    Hey Avenger, thanks for the info.

    I actually ordered some powder from Hi Performance and just got it in

    My confusion was the colors, and who was posting.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    The new colors look great. I may have to try a few when they make it to the US.

    G'day Joe.

    HITEK makes the stuff here in OZ.
    I do his testing here in OZ.
    He then ships it all over the planet.
    Donnie sells it in the US.
    No confusion.
    Hooroo.
