You can buy the rifle furniture from Cheaper Than Dirt in the various colors. Kind of pricey though.

[Great-Kazoo]

It's magpul dude, magpul. TEAR:)1 cost more, Always.

I think its cheaper to have it dipped... you can make your own design as well

[islandermyk]

How durable is it?


I run my stuff pretty hard and hate to pay hard earned $$$$ dipping my stuff just to keep it in a safe...

I don't know how durable it would be on a pistol but I a friend of mine had his bolt gun done a few years ago and it still looks very good.

If you are interested, there is a company in Elizabeth that does these. Their name is Colorado Camo & Customs: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Colorado-Camo-Customs/184505951568747

Right on... [Beer]

I take it it is pretty durable... seeing that the barrel was dipped as well... I am really digging this... [Awesom]

[J]

My good friends do this too. Galley Graphics LLC, off of Santa fe and c-470. Got a few things done, has been durable thus far.

[kwando]

All those duck camp guns are all dipped. That will attest to how durable they are. Of coarse if you put it through a torture test it will wear, but how sweet are some of those graphics. Maybe we can get a group buy on a few runs

I'm almost sold on this one... dammit... now I got's to save up for this [Weight]

[Adawg38]

I have been thinking about doing this for a while. I am not crazy on the total coverage of zombies or skulls but was thinking about doing my whole ar in woodland camo and maybe a small black zombie print on my str stock and handgaurd.

[stevelkinevil]

A little much for my taste but cool none the less. Does make you wonder though, I bet they could dip a sweet multi-cam pattern. Yum.

[MileHighOutlaw]

I had Galley Graphics do one of my bows and it turned out slick. I was very happy with their work.

You guys do know that you can do it yourselves? It's really not that hard. Prep is everything.

Here are some websites: www.mydipkit.com
www.camodipkit.com

[islandermyk]

Oowwee... this is gonna be a project I need to get into... thanks for the links [Beer]

seems the stuff can hold... but can't stand the heat... still some good stuff though [Beer]

... they'll be getting a call from me in the morning [Coffee]

Do it! Hard to believe its not being done, hmmmm my scar 17 in multicam....

[Irving]

So is this wall paper for guns?

Pretty much... You can dip just about anything though.

So I emailed these two guys about having some multi-cam patterns available rather than giving them a call... figured I'd copy and paste up their responses on here when I get them...


... we'll see what happens [Beer]

Personally, I'm a cheap ass and wouldn't get one of those kits. You can get the primer/clear at Wally world, the activator several places online (in spray can or the non aerosol to use your own spray gun) and there is film available many places.

Going to do my SKS bull pup when I get the stock.

If anyone tries to DIY this stuff, a quick tip is to use warm ~95°F water.

What no crusty old guy post yet? Okay I'll do it:

"Blue, black and walnut are all the colors you need! Doesn't need to match your purse!"

so here's my first response I got:

Hi Mike,

Thanks, and sorry, no, we don't have it. Would've considered bringing it on, but the Army has dropped that pattern.

Thank you,

I don't see the attraction. Does that pattern match your purse?

You can buy just the camo pattern. The activator I don't know about getting elsewhere.

[00tec]

A Google query of hydrographic activator produces many results. ~$30 for the aerosol can. If you have your own compressor/spray gun, you can order quarts of the stuff.

I have a link somewhere of where to obtain the zombie pattern shown earlier by the meter if anyone wants it.

[jmg8550]

Good to know

Never got a response myself, figures. I don't even want to try and do it myself because I know it won't come out right.
