I put about 50 boolits in a clean coffee can and sprayed well with carb cleaner to clean, sloshed around for a bit and dumped out on paper towels to dry.
Using Harbor Freight red epoxy powder coat, ($3.99 lb) dry tumbled by hand for few minutes in plastic container, dumped boolits onto screen tray to sift out excess powder for reuse. Put screen tray into preheated toaster oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. After oven timed out, I immediately removed screen tray and gently shook by hand for a couple minutes to keep boolits separated and from sticking to wire screen. The screen mesh is small, about like window screen but more strongly made, Wife donated it from her BB'Q set.
Coated and baked only once, passed hammer test, one on front right I beat pretty good, epoxy coating split, but did not flake off
