I’m not familiar with “powder coat”. I buy the powder paint at BP or Cabela’s. It’s ridiculously easy to use.

If you bake in the oven like they suggest, the paint finish is shiny and hard as a rock.

It comes in a variety of colors: black, brown, white, red, chartreuse, etc.

I buy a pound of powder coat for what 2oz of the powder paint is, there's probably a 1000 plus colors of powder coat. Powder coat gets cooked at 400° for 15-20 minutes and is hard afterwords, so I'm thinking it's just the same stuff.

Sounds like the same stuff.

Here's some colors, not many available and prices went up quite a bit from last time I got some, there a place that make Chartreuse powder I don't see any here at the moment. A pound will do over 10,000 bullets so you don't need much. Harbor freight used to carry powder coat but not sure anymore.

Harbor Freight just has the flat black and white now. No longer carrying the yellow or red. The last place I purchased powder paint from was prismatic powders and Columbia. Also several here have purchased from Roseys powder paints. There is also powder by the pound. And I see you’re familiar with Eastwood already. Good luck.

I may look into dropping some jigheads off at the nail salon and see what they can do
