Default camo dipping your gun?

just wondering if anyone knows of a company that can dip my 870 camoing it like the new ones. also, are there any gunsmiths or companys that will tune up my gun, shoot diff loads and chokes to see which one will pattern best. I figure maybe one of these choke companies may do something like that. I remember some company doing this a few years back but lost the info on it. I would gladly pay a company a reasonable price to tune up my old gun. sure beats me buying several loads and chokes to find the right combo that shoots best out of my gun. thanks for any help.

I can't answer any of your questions, but I got another. Just curious is there a permanent camo kit you can do yourself?

Hey arkansas:
Web site for ya BROWNELLS.COM............They dont dip your gun put they got this spray paint called alum-hyde paint. I did my two turkey guns this year and u cant beat it, and its cheap, u should get earth brown and olive drab green. I first sprayed my gun all earth brown and then broke it up with the o.d green it looks great, u can even paint your stock if u choose to. Hope this helps.
