Okay so in my wanders I stumbled across this site.

DIY Camo Dip

Now I was thinking of doing a Hydro Dip but a quote of $350 for the stock $500 with the scope kind of shot a big hole in that plan. $99 and I would get enough to do at least 2 guns full length and still have some left over.

- So has anybody used this?
- How well did it work for you?
- What Pattern would you use?

Now I live in the Great Northwestern part of the U.S. so we have mainly pines and fern under growth.

This is my prime hunting terrain..

So the 2 patterns I'm looking at are:

Since we have a lot of dead fall and this matches the pine tress perfectly...

Or this since we have a lot of Alder stands that I end up taking a hide spot in.

Sorry if this has been brought up before my search didn't find anything.

I have read on a few other forums that people really like these kits.

I believe I have seen a " how to video" over on Youtube. Take a look, it seems really easy to do and ends up really nice.

They have a couple of great videos on "How To" on their site and it looks like it isn't that hard. I just have to convince the wife that I need to camo my man cave so I can order 3 or 4 patterns.

I'm really leaning towards the tree bark one.

Then your rifles "bark" would be better than its bite. LOL

Man, and I thought my bad jokes were bad.

Again, why not use something like camo-tape instead?

For starters, camo tape looks horrible once it starts to peel.

Ahem and is a pain....

Plus you don't get the 3D effect with tape that you can achieve with this. A lot of people knock the real tree style camo patterns but they can be quite effective.

I looked into this as well. I could definitely see "dipping" a stock and scope, then simply flat painting the barrel/action. The effect would be pretty nice.

There are two websites I know about to buy the material online (links below). Looks like it would cost around $100 for one kit.

http://www.mydipkit.com/ - Original site??
http://www.camodipkit.com/ - Has more colors/patterns.

If anyone tries this, I would love to see some pictures.

Myself, I'll most likely go with the old Krylon camo. It's cheaper and easier, and if I want to change the pattern, it won't be that hard.

We have had great luck with these guys:

www.camodipkit.com

They have been very helpful and deliver the dip kits very quickly...

Holy necropost!

At any rate, deadfall please post an intro as Fuzz has stated on your other post.
