Anybody here do duracoating in the ACU pattern? Something like this pic I found.
I've actually been wanting to get the Barret done ACU.. let me know if you find anyone.
Ask Birddog. He's always doing the duracoat stuff for people.

Some good looking weapons there. Do you have any vids of the process? I saw an example where they put a pattern on by having the pattern on the surface of a liquid and submerging the weapon in it, but the pattern had some asymmetry I didn't like.

Hoosier the process in which you are talking about is hyrodipping or hydrographics or whichever name you want to call it (there are lots of them). You can choose between literally hundreds of different designs to put on anything you can fit in a water tank or bucket. Fox's camo is by far the best example of digital camo I have seen done by paint, I have to give him credit for that, it looks friggen good. The upside to the hydrodipping is how fast and easy it is. The downside is if you don't know how to twist and turn the product (if it has multiple twists and bends) the image you are printing on it will get distorted. You can also change how the design turns out by changing up your base coat. Your base coat determins the bottom color of whatever it is that you are doing which is why the two desert digital guns look different, they had different colored base coats. They say to put a normal clearcoat over it (usually supplied by the company), but I am going to try it out with my digital acu and see how well a clearcoat of cerakote goes over it and how the film hold up in an oven. If you have ever bought a rifle that came from the factory with any kind of camo on it, it was done by hydrodipping. Here are some examples of the hydrodipping:
