    Hy-Tek coating alternatives?

    I'm wondering if anyone has found any alternative polymer coatings that are similar to Hy-Tek bullets but by a different company? I'm not looking to powdercoat just seeing if anyone has started to compete with them, I figure with the growing popularity someone else is going to pop up.

    I really like Powder by the Pound, their RAL stuff. One coated, dry coated, no messing around with acetone and what not.

    Some members have tried the blue coating (I don't remember what brand) and it leaded terribly

    Just bumping this back up, I'm still on the hunt for a Hy-Tek alternative other than PC.

    Good hunting. From my limited reading on the subject the only viable coating solutions are these two. I think Hi-Tek has been around for something like 20 years and the fact that no-one else has come up with an equivalent in that time is....interesting.
