    Pink camo...
    These were originally black and when I got some pink in I just tumbled a coat over the black.

    I had some HF Black and HF Red that made a pretty neat pattern, kinda like the Red tiger pattern you see on the tacticool stuff, but neat looking nonetheless.
    For me it worked in both BBDT and ESPC. Onlt problem with the DT is the cavities on the hollowpoints tend to fill up.

    I don't have any pink. I mixed Candy Apple and Lagoon Green, but it wasn't nearly as pretty as pink.

    Cough it up dirtdgger- how'd you get the two-tone on those green-orange boolits? Like blanco did by doing a 2nd coat?

    I put first coat on bake in oven let cool then take out some of the bbs no powder just bbs. Then I shake them one time look at them might have to shake them again but no more then twice. Then bake again. It works best if you put lighter color on first.

    Do you start with only one color in the tub, then add the second color after pulling out some of the BBs?

    I put on the first coat bake then cool then take bbs out of what color I'm putting on next in different bowl and shake. I keep bowls that I use for this with just bbs in them I put the bbs back in the original container if they need more powder on them then take the bbs back out.

    on mine I mix the powders and then coat.
    Sometimes it happens when changing colors and not cleaning the gun in between

    I never clean the gun. I just add more powder. 'Makes for some funky boolits!

    The Candy Apple just doesn't mix well with other stuff. It does okay by itself, but I don't think I'll buy more of it.

    Let the boolit designerin begin.
    I thought my pink camo was the shiz.... but you guys simply are amazing.
    You know, this really is a gathering of some of the most talented and creative people I have ever run across.
    Hats off to you guys.
    By the way Beagle we need to have a talk about that avatar of yours. One of my other passions is fine doubles.

    I think a bit of that Teal Green sprinkled over that black would be a nice Camo effect
