Watch Elvis Ammo on you tube, He is by far the best on powder coating, Tip you can fast forward thru a lot of his crap, he would be better off to cut chase and go for the kill, Harbor Freight powder coat is crap compared to Eastwoods

You could simply do the shake-n-bake method using black airsoft bb's, a cool whip container or any container with a 5 in the recycle symbol and whatever powder you want to use. The other that i have used is to use some acetone to disolve the powder and shake the bullets in this liquid then bake.
The first shane-n-bake gives a nicer finish but is hard to keep the powder out of hollow points. The acetone method puts a thin coat so you have to do it twice and its not as pretty. I usually water drop after i pull out of the oven to try to keep the bullets hard.
EDIT: There are allot of good threads on the cast boolit forum concerning powder coating.

I was considering the powder coating from harbor freight and I will check out that utube. The reason that I am considering powder coat is that there are some sizes buckshot that are not available in nickel plating. I have found that buckshot in a wadcup and buffered will pattern better. some sizes stack better than others. I have also found that plated buckshot patterns better. I am thinking about plating the sizes that you can only get in lead.

I am thinking about plating the sizes that you can only get in lead. In my experience, you will only get so so results from the harbor freight powder. I have some from Sherwin Williams that gives good results and some from Eastwood that turned out good. I do the shake and bake, but I don't use the BBs. Just a #5 container.
