Hydrodipping?

[Slim]

Anyone around the nola area do hydrodipping? I have a stock on order that I would like to have done.

I saw a bullpup just like it posted earlier which inspired me. Im sure it will be another month and a half before I get it but wanted to start searching now.

Its for a red jacket zk-22.

Stay far away from Chameleon Camo in Laffeyette. I know you probably wouldn't be looking to do business with a business that far from you anyway, but I am just giving you a heads up just in case.

Any particular reason why? I was thinking about dipping a few things and I thought about using them. Any suggestions on who else to use in the Lafayette area?

ive got a friend that got a couple guns done. glock 22 and a taurus revolver. they were dipped and then cleared. its to thick on the revolver when you swing the cylinder out it not rubs on the frame so the cylinder wont spin freely. the g22 you can already see it chipping along the edge of the slide where it meets the frame. doesn't seem like the best option for pistol application. now another guy i know got his single shot .444 done and it came out pretty nice. just don't know how long it will hold up.

Thanks, I was wondering how well it would hold up.

As long as you don't handle the gun with DEET on your hands, it should be fine on a stock. I wouldn't do it to moving parts like slides and cylinders, though.

I had an AK dipped by them, and a buddy had a Mac-10 dipped there as well. Mine took all of 4-1/2 months to get back, then to get it back in VERY POOR condition...so, in short, I call that BAD BUSINESS all around. My friends Mac-10 was no different, just not nearly as long or as bad of a job, but was still a poor job.

Have a look for yourself.

Very poor preppping.
Very poor base coat, with overspray inside of the receiver.
Blasting sand inside of the underfolder mechanism, blasting sand coating the inside both of the mags I sent with it.
Poor dipping as it did not stick in some places.
He dipped the WHOLE rifle, when he was given instructions to only dip the receiver, dust cover, grip, and stock.

He did, Roy (the owner), beg me to let him fix it, but I was happy just to get my rifle back finally and I told him I didn't feel right putting my firearm back into his hands.... I mean, if you have my gun for nearly 5 months, after multiple attempts to meet to pick it up, then you finally give it back in this condition, what the hell makes you think I am going to be willing to put it right back into your hands???? No sir, you have had your chance to do me right, I will now only warn others of your service and work.

Yea I would be pretty pissed too

It was a learning experience for me. I look back now and kick my own ass for even thinking about changing the original look on a firearm that already looks good. Not to mention, that dip pattern actually looks like **** in my opinion, bad taste on my part.

I have had several plastic car parts done and IMHO other than like AR furniture or mags not good for metal surfaces, YMMV.
