Harbor Frieght sells an inpensive kit and powders, and you can use a toaster
oven to cook the coating on. Some forgo the oven and do a "shake without the
bake" and place some powder coat in a bag with the bullets, and add a bit of
acetone to dissolve the paint. After a shake or two to spread the paint
around, you take them out of the bag and let sunlight cook of fthe acetone
and hardent he powdercoat. It's not as even, so you re-size the coated
bullets. The paint is durable enough it doesn't crack off while sizing.
