Its not hard at all. The shake n bake method with a yogurt container generates a static charge that adheres the powder to the boolits before baking. Once baked, there is no way to get it off outside of remelting the bullets down, which I had to do once, because of an improper baking temperature that produced poor results.
Powder coating bullets is an alternative to "lubing" bullets. I find it to be easier, faster, and more uniform a coating. It may be a little more expensive, but the time saved makes up for it 10x.
Is that the bake-on coating? I want to try that with some cast 9mm. How hard is it to get it to adhere?

Thanks! I'm going to give this a try.
For this operation, you will need four items

Metal wire basket that fits in toaster oven + piece of paper to shake basket on to
Thrift store toaster oven

Step one: boolits into yogurt container
Step two: tablespoon of powdercoat paint
Step three: lid on and shake n bake
Step four: pour into wire basket on piece of paper. Shake lightly to remove excess paint powder
Step five: basket into oven @ 400 for 10 minutes.
Step six: let coated bullets cool, break them up by hand when cool.
Step seven: size bullets and reload
