Looking for some other powder coats that adhere well

[ted_dent]

I have been PC'ing my bullets for a couple of years now and have had excellent results with Tool Blue, Phantom Gloss Black and Clear from Emerald Coatings but I would like to try a few other colours. However, my results with red from Harbor Freight and Kawasaki Green have been pretty miserable, with thin, splotchy coverage. I'm guessing that they would probably be satisfactory if I was using a PC gun but I want something that works well with simple pre-heated bullets and the conventional shake & bake method.

Has anyone had experience with other colours (would really like a red and a green but others are OK too) that give the type of near 100% coverage that I get with Tool Blue, Clear, etc. Not looking for something that needs a base coat either. I want to keep it simple.

Help a fellow PC'er out.

One of the first powders I tried is Traffic Red, RAL3020. It seems to cover quite well with shake and bake (for me anyway). 15 minutes at 400°.

Phantom Gloss Black. I'd just pay for jacketed before I shot blue bullets or any other goofy color.

Mix your PC's together. I bought gloss black and white from Emerald. Both coat pretty bad on their own but mixed together coat amazing. I now add blue to the black and white and makes a really cool colour.

Wow those are some mighty fine results you guys are getting with your PC.

Mine are all shake and Bake but I preheat the lead. I use my dehydrator to heat up.

Another vote for Eastwood Line Green. Eastwood Gliss black works very well too.

I've got the Jollipop-red, excellent stuff. Have not used it for shake and bake

Is that the candy red that is also transparant?

Would love to see how they come out on shake and bake bullets.
