What's wrong with using paint? He's asking for options, and painting is a valid and cost effective option for a permanent camo finish.
On a side note, if you check the link regarding the camo dip kits, you'll find that one kit costs $129 and appears to not be such a simple process. Meaning that, unlike the guys who do it professionally, the average Joe is likely to screw up, which at $129 per kit, and who knows how much effort to fix the mistake, would be a costly proposition.
The Krylon camo paint method will provide as good results, and the 5 cans of paint (auto primer, three camo colors and satin urethane clear coat) will cost around $25, can be found at any hardware or home improvement store, and is enough to do several guns. And if you mess up, you can just paint over the mistake.
