I powder coat all my cast projectiles. No lube, no leading.
The lead balls were a good price, so I figured it might be fun to try a few different loads, do some plinking
I have several powder-coat colors, just happened to grab the container with blue in it. Once they had cooled from baking, I took a pic to share the process - It was then I saw the irony, and ran with it

So, the way I read this, Your Spherical Projectiles, have been Colored, via an electronically adhering of Paint, and the Color of the Paint is Azure, or Bluish in Properties?????

Well you convince the mods of that
Must have its still there
Lol!!! I really thought it it was an entirely different subject!
I'll be going now.
Um.....nice balls!
Ahhmm......As this fine thread has been around a while now I'll explain my original assumption.
While serving in Korea I actually saw a severe case of BB's! One of the guys in my section had a little (a LOT) too much fun in the village, strained himself and ended up with the BB's. The medics carried him out of the Quonset hut on a stretcher, his stuff cradled in a towel, they were, indeed, very blue! Also, the size of a grapefruit.....each! Poor guy was screaming at the top of his lungs! It was not a bit funny, I'm not joking or exaggerating at all about the grapefruit size or volume of his screams! I'll never forget it!
And now I'll return you to your regular program!
Thank you for listening!
