Camo dip kit

[jmg8550]

Anyone ever try this stuff? Just wondering how easy it is and how durable it is. Gotta be easier than painting.

Didn't see it. Sorry for the repeat question. The search function sucks.

[Marlin]

Not to my knowlege... I did see the earlier one also. And I can't find it...

I dumped it as I thought it was spam.
Weird as a first post with no hello or introduction.

Back on topic- I haven't tried it, but the process itself looks wicked cool!

If I thought it worked like the factory done jobs I would try it. At least on the bows it looks great and lasts a long time, very durable.

Bowers Tac has a few hand guards done in camo, looks pretty trick. I am sure Mike has a guy/business that does it.

paging mike, what can ya tell us, you have a decent place to refer us to?

[TriggerHappy]

He has a sign on the wall, hydro......something. He quoted me a price, but can't remember that either. Im worthless.....

[jmg8550]

A friend of mine bought a kit. We will hopefully try it this weekend. I'll post pics if it turns out well. It is going on a Beretta CX4 storm. I may do my M1A synthetic stock also. He bought the Predator Camouflage Brown Deception. Gonna use a white background for a more winter/arctic effect. Just curious as far as if anyone has any feedback. We'll find out how well it works.

[trlcavscout]

Let us know for sure.

Is it durable? Will it peel?

[jmg8550]

Don't know yet, only time will tell. It will also be covered with a satin clear coat. Seems pretty durable though.

I have the same question as a few already, but, is it going to last? Peeling seems like something that would easily happen. What does it say in the kit about how durable it is? I looked on their site and I think the desert digital would look great on the lower portion of my MK23. But I have to know if it is a good product so info from someone with first hand experience would be great.

[jmg8550]

I think it will be fairly durable if prepped properly and a clear coat is used. It also says to let the camo and clear coat cure for 14 days for the most durability. The activator is an etching compound to help the print adhere and become permanent. As far as peeling, it is a print process called hydrographing. Burris uses a similar process on their camo scopes. In my experience with these scopes, it is pretty durable. No peeling seen yet. It will chip, but so will paint.

[TriggerHappy]

Looks pretty trick. We will need an update of durability. Was it pretty easy?

[jmg8550]

It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard either. It was time consuming and prep is everything.

Looks like the decals that I used to put on my airplane and car models when I was a kid. Just a much bigger decal.

[jmg8550]

I guess I'm starting to sound like a broken record... they are not decals. Decals don't burn if you get them on bare skin. And you don't have to wear a mask when applying decals. Ask me how I know this.

[van7559]

We just did some camo dipping on some gun parts - turned out really nice...


got any pics?
