Default Coatings for cast lead bullets

Ok I have been doing some research about coatings for cast lead bullets, I want to be able to cast for some calibers that cast bullets may not work well. Specifically 300 BLK but also my auto loading pistols.

I don't want to go traditional powder coating. Too much equipment to buy. So I have been checking out the epoxy paint route.

So I have heard that the shake and bake process works pretty good. I could see trying it out but don't know if there is anything specific to look for as far as paint or technique. Paint and thinner in a bucket shaken like applying the alox. Dumped onto a metal screen and either re-coated or baked.

I was thinking if they are flat nosed to stand them on the nose and spray the bottom and sides. Then bake the paint on. As long as the sections of the bullet that contact the barrel are coated then I should be good to go. Similar to a jacketed soft point.

If anyone has any thoughts or input on coating cast bullets I would love to hear about it.
