Hydrographed Beretta 390

[wtretrievers]

Started this project over a year ago & never finished it. Been hobbling around since Thursday (had knee surgery) about to go crazy sitting on the couch, I finally decided to finish Hydrographing my ol Beretta 390. Wish I would taken pictures of before. Gun started out black synthetic, spray painted it camo years ago, it's my turkey gun, well it's my everything shotgun. Pattern is made by Moth Wing, it's called Spring Mimicry 2.0.

Thanks, I liked the pattern since it had a lot green in it. Hydrographing without the right set up can sure test your patience! Now I cant find the nut to hold the stock on Think I left it at the camp where I 1st started this project. I just threw it together last night to get a picture, once it's complete & matte finish is applied I'll take it outside in good light & post a much better picture. I'm pleased with the look & pattern. Found a couple more patterns that I'd love to do a couple old rifles I have.

That's awesome. I have the same gun and have been going back and forth with the idea of having it done. $180 was the cheapest I found. Where did you get the material and how much trouble was it?

I've been getting my film from TWN industries, It can be a pain without the right set up, which I don't have. Would love to get the right set up but you're looking at a good chunk of money Several things that are critical are water temp, amount of activator applied, too much or to little on the activator can screw things up! Along with water temp & clean water. I did a ton of test runs before I ever touched a gun! I did elec outlet covers to small plastic tool cases just about anything that paint would stick to & didn't have any value I dipped or should I say tried to dip till I got the hang of it.
This will be the next camo I get, I have an old Marlin 30-30 that this would be badazz on!

That pattern is wicked.... Will blend perfectly with Louisiana, Mississippi hard wood bottoms....
