Can anyone tell me what gray powder coating works best in the shake and bake method? I can coat using the ES method, but I prefer shake & bake method.

Randy Rat's Silver Grey is working perfect for me using shake 'n bake. I like that the boolits look like cast boolits and not obviously powder coated.
I agree with the above statements about Smoke's Clear GLOSS. I find myself choosing it first over my other colors. The comment about being" slicker than snot" is no bull. The flow of that powder is very even and the boolit looks permanently wet when completed. Excellent powder.- CASTER
In regards to shooting safety.Until you are ready to fire, keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
I'm sure that Smoke's clear works great. Clear is by far the easiest to coat with. I use the Eastwood brand because I got 5lbs. when I started coating and that amount goes a long way. Some pigments hinder flow and don't work well for "Shake and Bake.
+1 for Smoke’s clear. It is slick,like glass, most of the boolits I have recovered are still coated! Smash test was good ! Just my .02
I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!
I mixed Eastwoods Gloss white and Gloss black and it created a glossy concrete grey color. I'm don't mind that its not a silver-grey of bare lead. I want coverage without to much bling of the bright colors.

Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.
I have been using Eastwoods grey to coat and it seems to work good if this is the color you are looking for.
