I just read an article about putting camo on your firearm. Jim Crumbly (of Treebark fame), has came up with a new process that can apply the camo finish, of your choice, and it takes him about 4-6 weeks. The finish is supposed to be excellent and I think it could be removed in the future if wanted. The patterns looked great and I'd trust Jims work. Check into it and see what you think. For a couple $'s, it may be the way to go.
