    What fav colour powder for all you pc casters out there?

    Just curious if anyone else is lazy like me and prefers plain old high gloss clear pc over the myriad of choices there are.

    This clear stuff coats completely in 1 go and takes about 10 shakes in the plastic container to get the powder to stick.

    I don’t make them myself but if I have a choice when buying, I’d rather the clear coat or a nice silver instead of bright colours. Especially red, it just seems odd to load little lipsticks into a revolver.

    I have found clear to be one of the most reliable. It also looks somewhat normal. I have not been able to get any silvers, greys or blacks to coat properly. best results have been from clear and light blue.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/323755848179 Get yourself a few of these. Perfect size for 30cal pills. Helps them stand up nicely, cured paint falls off and it has no problem with the curing heat.

    It does seem a bit odd at first eh. Blue seems to work the best out of the colours I've tried

    Yeah I like those. Prob better for the 30cals too.

    One guy gave me a solid bit of advice - use scissors to pic up the powdered bullets. Way better than using tweezers. After flowing out, you don't see any marks

    I am curious about that resto powder coating gun. That would make the projectiles less dinged up
