Dura-Coat Camo

I am thinking of having my new turkey gun " dipped " for lack of a better term. I know Bell and Carlson offers this service. Has anyone had any experience with this procedure? Any problems?

I have had several guns "Dipped" by Duracoat in Columbus, GA. The place is actually a few miles from my house. I am 110% pleased. It is extremely durable.

thanks for the link!!!!!! My buddy called Friday, looks like we'll be sending 2 guns out this week to get done. We just bought 2 CVA Optima Pro's and were gonna get them coated and see how it turns out!

They have the stock off of my new A-Bolt Stainless Stalker. I'm having it dipped in New Mossy Oak Breakup 3D. I'll post some pics when I get it back.

I wonder if this coating is as durable as say factory remington, or browning shotguns? Anyone know?

I paint mine using Krylon paint - it's pretty durable and when it does need touch up it's easy to do. The cost is a LOT less.

I can tell you first hand. It is the same process that they use on new firearms. I have had several guns dipped and so has my father, my friend is taking his Glock by there today. I took a key and tried scratch the stock (synthetic) of one I had dipped a few years ago, just wanted to "test" it. I could not scratch it, it just made marks in the plastic.

here is a pic of the stock after it was camo dipped.

WOW!!! How do you argue with that???? Let's see JDreddish probably spent ~ $700-900 on his Browning, and then he's gonna use Krylon on it!!! hmmmmmm (I think I would go with the $200 to get it done right)
