[QUOTE="Cat City Slim, post: 3316230, member: 42075"] I've experimented with several methods of powder coating, here's what I found works best. Rather than using airsoft BBs, I preheat the bullets before coating. I pour around 300 into a pan, and put them into my toaster oven preheated to 450 for three minutes. When they come out, they should be warm enough that they are slightly uncomfortable to hold in your hand. Sorry, can't be more specific. I then dump the warmed bullets into a bucket, pour a couple of teaspoons of powder on, then seal the bucket and shake it for minute. The bullets will come our well coated. I pour all of the coated bullets into a strainer and give it a shake to get the extra powder off. I then pour all the bullets into a pan lined with non-stick foil. Bake at 450 for about 15 minutes. I pull out the pan, give it a good shake to break the bullets apart, and pour them into a tub of water. Some powders don't coat well using this method. Harbor Freight red works well, I also use Prismatic silver and safety orange with good results. I've tried several blacks, haven't found one that will coat well. [/QUOTE]
