Are those colors you have mixed, or do you buy them as they are?

Thanks guys. It is a 4:1 mix of Eastwood clear gloss and Eastwood black gloss. I like my lead bullets to look like lead bullets. Got the idea from a previous poster.

One of my first "successful" coats looked similar. It was Eastwood Silver Vein.PC bullets 1 a x.jpg

I cast a bunch Jan 24 and PC'd them next day. I washed them all in acetone and mixed them in a #5 ice cream bucket. That's two things I haven't done until yesterday.

I coat with a color that I like and works. For these I shake then just flash in the oven (powder molten plus 5 min) then shake in large Ziploc while still fairly hot with Mica make up powder (from Amazon) that will compliment the base coat . Use less than you think you need and then only half of that.Then back into the oven for a proper cure

Powder Coated some Lee 452-255-RF for my NM RB 45 Colt.
Smoke’s Flame Red. I really like the devil’s pills in the cylinder!

Tested out some powder from a company I had never heard of. American Powder Coatings LLC.

All powder was used in the same container, shake for no more than 45 seconds, baked at 400 for 17 minutes. I only do single coated powders.
All seemed to cover well, the purple I thought was going to be the thinnest before baking. But the black and dark green ended up being the thinnest. All will still shoot the same.
The yellow surprised me, best coverage I have seen with any yellow so far.

I also mixed the colors before switching to a new color, I must say that the purple/yellow mix is really nice

The last week I cast 500 each 195 and 200 grain .41's and 500 pieces of 300 gr. .45's. I had to coat a few twice because the teal came out thinner than I like.

Almost too pretty to shoot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you coat, then size and install GC's?
Lubrisizer or Lee push?
