I have a composite stock that needs some "freshening up". Who do you guys send your stocks to for paint? Also I've seen a couple places that offer hydro dipping for stocks. Have any of you had that done and what's your thoughts?

I have one rifle that has been dipped. Looks pretty good.
A can of Krylon is a whole lot less expensive.

Must be everyone does the DIY rattle can job. Was hoping someone did something more durable (and better looking than I could do). Will have to look into the hydro dipped a bit more. A couple places offer it for less than $100.

Hydro looks cool, but isn't all that durable. Might look into Cerakote if a sold color will work.

For a stock, duracoat is the best bang for the buck imo.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Recently had one hydro dipped. Looked like crap. $100 down the drain. Already started sanding it off, going to stencil it and hit it with Alumahyde. When done right, alumahyde dries hard as a rock.

Hydro Dip DIY is easy. Follow with flat clearcoat and it's as good as the paint on a new car. Marlin did stock, I did metal and scope ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z377/rocketcity1/tororeelmower18/e13a91f9.jpg) Savage did the stock, I did metal & scope (Stocks are the easiest to do) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z377/rocketcity1/tororeelmower18/f151bdf6.jpg)

Poor Larry.... PM subject line : Misunderstood?..... Hardly, hated by cowards is more accurate.
Now sir what's your beef ?
Please be specific, not general slurs.
Who have I cheated ? Who have I called foul names and posted insulting photos of ? Of the dozens of items I bought here, who was unhappy with the deal ?
Finally, as it happened before you joined, do you even have any idea (again specifics) why banned ?

If you're looking to pony up and get a pro job, check out: http://customguncoatings.com/His work is TOP NOTCH. His prices are reasonable. Single colors and webbing are under $100. Camo goes up proportionally.

Here is my tikka. Krylon camo, in tan. I sanded the stock lightly with 220 and wiped it down with acetone. Also thought about doing spiderweb on it. For Now it looks good for me. Hardest part is waiting 7 days for full cure. ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss46/Andrepdx/79f0ca24-2cc1-4e44-be7a-f144718299cf_zpshavuihup.jpg)
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
