Well, the wife is requesting some purple boolits for her 9mm. I was going to try Smokes purple when it comes in stock. Until then, what is the best purple PC?

I take Smoke's purple and mix it 1/1 with Smoke's black and get a cool "plum crazy" purple,...looks like the color on the Dodge/Plymouth muscle cars of 60-70's.
I mixed some red and blue powder I got from work. Once cured it resembles black cherry jello fluff. Jello mixed with cool whip. Has a purple mottled whitish appearance.
I like Smoke's Traffic Purple.

A while back I decided to try Prismatic. At the time, I did not find anything for less and I found no complaints for Prismatic.
I got RAL 4005 Purple and Ford Dark Blue.
The purple worked great. Very easy to get full coverage with ASBB shake & bake.
The blue kinda worked some, but getting coverage was hit or miss. I can get some use out of it by mixing with the purple. I recommend avoiding the blue.
I got purple and green and had to double coat everything with Prismatic
Powder by the pound has the same traffic purple you are seeking as thats where his stuff comes from.
RAL 4006 is item number.

Sinbad Purple from Prismatic
That one is not bad at all, how does it coat?
OK got some preliminary sample of 2 colors in the running to replace Traffic Purple
did a quick and dirty hard core test batch of each to see worst case scenario coating capability
NO BB's, approx 45 degrees in an unheated room, humidity approx 50%, on Bullets cast about 2 years ago and did NO surface prep before shaking. Baked at 400 degrees for 30 Minutes .
These are 45 cal 230 GR HP's
Signal Violet came out pretty great

Purple Violet not as good. It made a thicker coating when shaking and I did not tap enough to remove much of the excess

Hopefully in the next couple of days I can do another batch with BBs and heat the room well before shaking and post results
Right NOW I am thinking signal violet might be the best candidate to replace Traffic Purple
