Does anyone know what this guy uses to coat and color?

Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets!

I'm afraid I won't live long enough for him to get the views he wants, before he shares.

probably the stuff from bayou bullets they have green, and a new one that's gold.
the gold is supposed to be better.
it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.

Color? Who cares. Lube? Again, who cares if you can't get any to try out.
We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

We forgot to take out the trash in 2012

I think it's called Hi Tek coating. There are a few youtube videos on the process. I looked at that stuff and decided to go with powder coating. I haven't shot any of my boolits yet but I've read and watched videos of folks shooting their PCd boolits and that was convincing enough for me to buy a PC gun and some powder.

Being a cheapskate, I am using the Harbor Freight flat black powder as it is 1/3 the cost of other colors. HF only sells Red, White, Yellow and Flat Black. Other powder places sell the entire spectrum color wise. I'd like to get some copper colored powder just to make the boolits look like they are jacketed and probably some neon lime green. You never know if the zombie apocalypse will descend upon us

In the other thread HI-Tek says this is not his product. I tried powder coating but the need to keep an electrical path to the boolits and space between them soured me on it.
I bought some of the Hi-Tek coating from Bayou Bullets and it is a much easier process to do. I haven't shot any yet but maybe tomorrow.

I melted a couple of coated reject boolits and the lead melted out of the coating and the empty coating shell came to the surface of the pot. A pretty tough coating 'cuz my pot was at 700 degrees.

I don't know but I'll bet it kills condors or eagles or spotted tree frogs and causes birth defects in morons.
Epoxy paint with HBN powder for lubrication! He shared the recipe.

Use the search function, type "powder coat" and see what comes up. Coat your boolits in your favorite team's colors!

That was a rather informative video. I will have to try out that coating process and compare against my powder coating efforts. One thing is for sure you can get some really wild colors either way you go. As silly as it may sound many of the folks I've talked to really want to see me make some pink boolits.

Now the question is what is the equivalent paint in the USA? That has got to be hi temp epoxy paint. There is some hi temp epoxy paint listed on ebay for brake calipers. I wounder if that would do the trick. Says it is good for 950 deg. F.

Mipa 2k-ep appears to be a floor epoxy system.

I'm very interested in this process! Figuring out the best components to use may be a pain. But the more of us that look into it, surely one of us will figure it out.

Thanx for the video link!

This might work. Similar to what he is using but the volume is a 1:1.

From reading about their product, I believe you my have found a product that will work. 1/2 pint of paint and 1/2 pint of catalyst for $30 its worth a try
There is several reply's to questions about the type of epoxy paint he is using. He has listed the specific product number he is using, as well as an American equivalent. It looks like the klasscoat is a great candidate for this. He mentioned that it is not high temp epoxy paint just an industrial epoxy paint so epoxy floor base-coat should be the ticket. I wish I hadn't blown my reloading budget for the month on small rifle primers, and powder-coating supplies so I could order some of the product to start a batch of this.

Here is another manufacture: http://www.milspeccoating.com/MIL-DTL-24441-Formula-150-Type-III-and-Type-IV-p/24441-f150.htm#features-below
green mil spec coating.

$9.95 for .4 oz for those looking for Hexagonal Boron Nitride powder.

I've found suppliers with larger lots, but the price seems to be about the same, so far.
Next question is how to keep the bullets from sticking to the perforated metal while they dry.
