Okay, I have been coating with Eastwood powders for a while now. All the ones I have used have a slick, almost waxy finish to the final coating. I have been especially pleased with the Ford Light Blue and the Chrome. I decided to try their Powder gold, and I am running into some issues. Not with it coating badly or anything. One coat will get me a light gold, uniform coating. Two coats will get a solid, brassy gold finish. The problem is that it feels rough on the finished bullets. Not smooth and slick like the other colors have. I tried adding some of the chrome powder coat to a batch, and it ended up with a mostly silver, with hints of gold finish. That was also not slick like the others. Is this simply a texture thing? Is it okay to use these like any other coated bullet? Or is there something in the Powder Gold color that might hurt my barrel? I will try to post pictures in daylight tomorrow.
