the durability of a camo dipped gun varies. its supposed to be like the paint on a car. if strong cleaning chemicals get on it maybe it will eat through. it does rust proof and make a gun more durable to the elements but no where near other type finishes. just keep the harsh chemicals away and if it need a touch up do it yourself with krylon or have it re- dipped or duracoated but you shouldnt have to for a while with normal use.
