I also like the color myself. The only problem is I never measure any of the powders out or write anything down. I know I should because it would be easier to duplicate a color. As it is I just throw a little bit of this and a little bit of that in and see what happens.

Is a base coat necessary before using the Jollipop red to get the awesome results you got, or just straight up Jollipop?? According to the specs it ( " NEEDS A BRIGHT SILVER OR CHROME BASE COAT" quoting from the website). Just wondering is all.
Lead by itself is silver enough.
Dearslayer looks like you got some good coverage with that. Is it a deep blue and white powder mixed together ?

It's just Black/White /and Tool Blue mixed together. No idea about the ratios as I didn't write it down unfortunately.
Thanks
I have some white I want too use up. Maybe I'll try a custom mix on the remelt rejects and see if I can come up with something that coats ok. I've got some Emerald green that coats really nice, might add some white to it and see how it works.

Would that be the " JD Agricultural Green " from Emerald I have it in my cart on their site but wasn't sure how it performed.

No its was the metallic Emerald green , it was on sale last fall for $18/ lb I dont see it or the metallic purple i got as well listed now.
Just PC'd and sized about 500 of my 147gr 9mm's. Phantom Glass Black as usual. While there are some spots where the pigment doesn't completely cover, the clear does for 100% coverage.
I have some 130gr .38 RNFP to do, as well as some 200gr RNFP .44's. Maybe later this weekend.

Did my first batch with Phantom Gloss Black yesterday. 358 200gr FN RCBS. They were pretty patchy looking after first coat so did a second. Sounds like it maybe wasn’t required. So I’m curious as to your comment about pigment and clear coverage? What temperature and time are you using? Used 375F for 17 minutes for mine and they stuck together real good!
