DIY Camo Dip Kit

[santee116]

I got the stock dipped on my rem XCR LRT for $80.00, by a guy near by (SC). I think he charges about $175 for the entire gun. The finish seems very, very durable. In fact I asked him how tough it was and he said that in order to remove a "dipped" finish, he has to bead-blast it for a long time. It is such a pain to remove, he will just put a new layer on top of the old, if someone wants a different pattern. I would venture to say that a dipped-finish will hold up better than a painted finish, second only to the molded in colors of McMillan. I would highly recommend it.

I think you can do 2-3 full guns with one of the dip kits...

Anybody have any idea how this process would work on a muzzle brake, would it hang in there or blow off.

 

[jaclinto]

I think it would hold up just fine for you...

I'm thinking that the ports would suffer a bit, most probably enhanced by cleaning.

Otherwise I think it would do just fine.

I might have to give it a try, so far everything I paint comes out to tacie cool not the smooth sexy or hunting cool which I would prefer. Muzzle brakes are stainless so if it blast away a little in the baffles no biggie just worried about it to continue to peal from there. Just want the hunting look not the tactical!!

Has anyone used this yet?
If so, how is it holding up?
Pictures??

Here is a pic that a friend did on some of his hunting gear. It is in the M2D camo...

 

[jaclinto]

what happened to the pic?

 

[royinidaho]

That is one perfect camo job.

No matter what the background it can't be seen!

Now for a ghille of similar design. WhoooHoooo!

I like the new carbon fiber dip kits they added

Camo Dip Kit - Do It Yourself Water Transfer Camo Dip Kit

The snakeskin ones are pretty cool too..

It does look pretty slick... guess I need to start looking around the big box stores for some kind of container big enough to do a long rifle stock in. Pretty sure the wife would object to me using the bath tub

Bathtub, thats what I would use, oh yeah I am divorced.

LOL - that is one way to tell if you have a bachelor pad...
