    How to Powder coat / Paint Tungsten weights? And where to buy?

    My first question / topic is how to paint / powder coat and where to buy 3/4oz and 1 1/2oz tungsten bullet / punch weights for a good price? Is there anyone out there who has tackled this pocket busting problem of buying Punching weights for outrageous prices? I wanna be able to buy a quality tungsten punching weight and paint / powder coat it myself? I have heard that Powder Coat / Pro Tec wont adhere to the tungsten without having a special machine / process? So have any of you guys taken quality tungsten weights and powder coated them successfully with a product like Pro-tec at home in the oven? If so how did ya get it to turn / process?

    Re: How to Powder coat / Paint Tungsten weights? And where to buy? (Casey V.)

    i asked the question a couple of months ago with no answer so i got bored and tried it. I bought a bunch of unpainted tungsten bullet weights off here for an amazing price so i figured what the heck. Used the powder paint from jans and coated it just like you would a jig i've tried it with a lighter worked pretty good but the toaster oven works better.....don't use the same toaster oven you cook food in use a seperate one

    I do weights myself and the powder will stick to anything if you have a proper gun. The only magerial I've never tried is wood but i don't see why it woudln't work.

    If i could figure out how to post pictures, I would show you the results you can get on bullet weights with a gun.
