I like their truck wrap kits. very cost friendly too. may have to squeeze the trigger on some of that considering to get everything I need precut would be about 200 and I was quoted last week between 1200-1500. i think I'll try it myself

Not near as easy as they show it. Everything has to be just right....water temp, amount of activator ect....have to pay attention all the details!

I think the Camo4u camo wraps are a little more practical for larger things like trucks and such...

Unless you are gonna use a swimming pool to do the dipping in....:*****:

Personally, I wouldn't mess with that stuff. I am looking into this for a few of my guns:

Have a friend that is a Class 3 dealer that uses these coatings and he said they are worth it.

If you want to do guns just pay someone to do it. By the time you take apart and strip everything and mess it up just to have to re do it. It's better just to pay the 150 and get it done right.

It can be done using the dip kit, a lot that goes into it that's not shown. I practiced a lot before I tried a gun.

It's only a durable as base coat (primer) that is used. Ice chest may be hard to get primer to stick too

The first and only time I tried it was with an old mossberg pump 20. The butt came out good but the forearm and everything thing else was crap. Dipping and getting it to go on smooth was the hardest for me.

It can be a pain in a#% without the right equipment. Everything has to be right. Water temp, amount of activator & humidity are just a couple things. I would love to do this as a side business, but getting set up with the right equipment is expensive!!!!
