These are some powdered versions that are available, Brown Copper, Red Copper, Texas Tea, Candy Apple, Zombie Green, Black, Red 122L Red 122K, (slightly more violet Red), 254 Red, (more Orange Red).
All in harder resin and with 2-Extreme system.

Any pics of the different powdered reds?
Post 4168. If that's the Candy Apple Red, then that's what I would be after. Does that one come in the powdered version? The green in that pic looks like my Zombie Green.
Awesome! I am not familiar with the harder resin and 2-extreme system?
is the process different the the powdered zombie?
What happens if you add more catalysis than the amount called for in the ratio?
Newer resins have not been really advertised so I am not surprised.
Process for both solvent & powdered system remains the same.
We just use a modified resin system which is same in liquid and powders.
The invention of Extreme, 2-Extreme 3-Extreme catalysts came about the desire to coat and size very hard alloys. These catalysts significantly reduce loads on punches and also supplies a coating with higher load carrying capability.
Does anyone in the states sell the powdered candy apple red? I checked the few that I know and could not find any.
I cannot remember posting any "disadvantages" using any of the Catalysts.
They all perform as required.
What I recall posting is, the use of Extreme & 2-Extreme catalysts significantly reduced sizing loads on sizing machines both manual and motorised.
As some hobbyist & commercial manufacturers use the long wax lube type sizing systems,, these sizing systems can have engaged, two or three projectiles simultaneously.
This had caused excessive loads on Punches and gearbox drives during sizing, and, projectile noses and tails were damaged when trying to push through the two or three projectiles.
Using Extreme catalyst with coatings, almost eliminated very high loads and subsequent damage to projectiles during sizing.
We produced the 2-Extreme catalyst, which overcame all the engineering problems.
Some folk, wanted to use benefits of each Extreme and 2 Extreme catalysts, so we developed the Hybrid 3-Extreme catalyst.
The disadvantages of the use of the 3_extreme catalyst is costs. These cost significantly more to produce than other catalysts, and many then realised that they were obtaining adequate results using the 2-Extreme system.
Now, with combination of a harder/tougher & more slippery polymer, and combination use of 2-Extreme catalysed system, both with liquids and powders, users obtain maximum benefits at affordable levels.
Apology for long reply, but I just wanted to clarify things.
Here are the sized bullets! .3560/.3565. The bullets are dropping from the moulds at .358/.359 on average.
The coating is working perfect. Didn't loose any during the sizing process.
Just as they should be. Good job.
