    While it's not exactly what you were asking about, I mix high gloss clear with my "colors" and get a translucent/mottled shade. For whatever reason no matter how mixed the powders get, I get that mottled look. It's a full coat every time.

    When I've mixed solid colors, the first batch will have each color intermixed where you can see each. After that it's a solid mix. This was mentioned already.

    I may try the salt shaker/paint brush trick. When you do that with a red color, I'm quite sure the bullets would be faster and possibly more accurate. I'll try it with parchment paper instead of my silicone mat so I don't get the mat to messy.

    Ok Did you mix the colours or did you just sprinkle a little red on the yellow?

    I don't know if they fly faster, but they do seem to empty out of the clip faster.

    When I was in school flames painted on the fenders of the cars easily added 20 HP. Flames on boolits has to make them faster.
