Camo dipping "Hydrographing"
 
5 Attachment(s)
I've been fascinated with this since I've seen it years ago, finally broke down & bought the materials. It's not easy! Several yards of camo film & several temper tantrums I've started to get the hang of it! I started out with a picture frame & it came out pretty well, the next item was a wall outlet cover, I fought with this damn thing night after night, priming, painting & dipping & it just wouldn't happen! I stepped back & started studying, figuring & thinking about every little detail & I think I just about got it figured out! Decided to take a cheap single shot shotgun of the boys & try it. So far it has come out pretty well! Next is the barrel & receiver which is likely to start the temper tantrums again!!!! Whatcha think???

I'll post pictures of barrel & receiver when finished next week. (I hope)

sweet looking bro.

Hope it holds up better than that crap Honda uses on their camo 4 wheelers. Mine was wore off in less than a year.

LPfishnTIM 08-31-2011 10:43 PM

Thats cool, want to do the cowling on my motor? Is that crap expensive just wondering cuz the places i've seen do it charge a good bit!

Need to let me get a few more under my belt.....theres some flaws in it, but I'm getting the hang of it, just really need to set something up in my shop & get some different size dipping tanks. It's been a pain in the azz doing everything on the back porch!

NO problem just let me know.....Do you think the paint will hold up like the factory job ones...

The camo is actually an ink that adheres itself to the base coat, so it's only as durable as the primer. Use a good high quality primer & no gloss clear coat & should be pretty durable.

maybe you could give a class?;)

It's tough when your tripping over all those beer cans.....:smokin:

Nice work....I like it.;)

Y'all can't imagine the stuff scattered across our back porch and kitchen during this process. We are working on getting him set up in a shop and I'm sure he will take orders once he's comfortable with the technique. A lot of beer and a lot of cussing on the first go round but I think he has it down now!

Lol...I understand.

I always wanted to learn how to do that but never took the time to do it.

outcast 09-05-2011 07:30 PM

Nice job Jeff!

southern151 09-05-2011 07:55 PM

I don't know if I can do one but that's how the "camo" rods are done. I'll have to get some practice on that too.
