Hydro-Dip (Camo Process)

[huntnphool]

I had a great conversation with Adam at http://www.hydro-dip.com/index.htm it sounds like they are very resonable for price and try to maintain a 10-14 day turn around time. Right now they are getting about $125.00 for a rifle stock and $450.00 for an entire rifle, barrel, action, trigger, stock, rings and scope. He says once this is done, rust on the outside, "Fagetabout It"

  These prices are for any of the typical camo patterns too, even the ones royalties have to be paid to like Realtree, Mossyoak, Kings etc.

  I told him about the site and he was excited enough to become a sponsor, I will be getting back with him on that.

  They are doing Brownings repair work right now and just got a contract to do Kimber as well as several others. He says they are still small enough to do retail jobs, single piece, and could accomodate pretty much anyones needs on the site.

  There is a shop min. price of $100.00 and most jobs are charged at a rate of $.75/sq." my deer skull that I want done would be about $75.00 but with the min. it will cost me $100.00. I am going to pick up a replica skull from Bucklucky that is notched out for a skull plate, like a dumb ass I generally cut them off rather than do euro's , I am then going to glass the plate to the replica skull, smooth the edges and send it to them to be camo dipped. I will take pics of the process as I go and post them for peeps to do the work themselves.

  Anyhow, I am excited to have these guys want to become sponsors and can't wait to see some of the jobs people get them to do.

Here is a pic of a AR they did.

That is really resonable for pricing.  Please make sure to post pictures of the skull you get dipped I am thinking I want to do that to one I just want to see how it turns out.

Looks like they do some good work cause the AR looks awsome. What did they charge for the AR and clip?

[rougheye]

pretty sure phool lifted that pic off of their site. i don't think thats his gun.

Looks like they do awesome work.  How durable is it for us "wetsiders" for rifles and handguns?

 As I posted its ideal for wetsiders, once its done rust issues are almost non existant, at least on the outside. Helps reduce scratches and rubs in the bushes also.

 The pic is from their site but Adam told me it was $450.00. Here is a handgun they did Bear.

I just checked out the website and they look like they do some really nice work.

Ah, but a camo rifle should be shown against a camo background...



My Savage Model 10.  Yeah, the ammo sleeve kinda gives it away.

and a couple stocks done by them.

I guess i meant how well does it hold up for us that are brush busters.  I wear the finish on my stocks where it rubs on my handgun, or pack, or just on brush.  Not worried about rust, I fix that myself.  I just want a great finish that will hold up to my abuse. lol

[jackelope]

i wouldn't mind getting a stock done, but for  a little more money you could buy an upgraded stock in whatever camo pattern or color you want from a place like bell and carlson. they do some cool work for sure....and if i were interested in a whole gun or something other than a stock, i'd be interested for sure.

 I asked him about that and he said its very hard and durable, not just paint.

[Huntbear]

well if he becomes a sponsor, I may have to get him to do a stock or two.  My brother needs his redone and his birthday is coming up...  I want mine to change.. plain black is boring.
