drake99 Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Can anyone tell me about aftermarket camo for a gun? I have heard that there are places you can send a gun to have the same camo applied to it, as one you buy already camo'ed. I cant seem to find any info on this. Any help would be of use. Thanks in advance drake99 Quote
madecov Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 The company that does it is lauer weaponry They do the camo jobs for DS Arms and a few others Quote
drake99 Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 Was thinking of something in a pattern like mossy oak, timber HD, max 4 . Like the camo benelli's come from the factory. Anyone know where this can be done? Thanks again.....drake99 [ 01-08-2004, 09:35 PM: Message edited by: drake99 ] Quote
dustin white flyers Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 i seen a ad in a sporting goods store in southern Indiana for custom paint on guns and it was like 165 $ per gun and they let you choose the camo pattern. I never wrote the number down and sure wish i did. But the way i look at it, lets say you pay 1000 $ for a new SBE in black synthetic and for like 150 $ more you can get the camo gun. This is what i saw in the store where i got my SBE. Black is fine for me. But to each his own. Good luck Brian Quote

fezman Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 unless you gun were very beat up to begin with i would probly look into some kind of sock or tape type thing before going with paint. painting a gun may cause many isues especaly if done wrong some paints are easy to remove with solvents or will chip and look like crap after a while also it will be a real pain in the butt to get rid of if you dont like it. if you use tape or a sock you can always stick some vegitation on it like a gilly suit to realy blend in good luck Quote
drake99 Posted January 11, 2004 Author Posted January 11, 2004 Drundel, Thanks thats what I was looking for...dipped . That gun turned out very fine. Tim looks to do very good work and he will be doing mine if I can get a hold of him. Thanks again drake99 By the way do you know if it can be done in Natural Gear? If not I'll stick with the max4 [ 01-11-2004, 03:54 AM: Message edited by: drake99 ] Quote
lawaterfowler Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Drake Here is a link that has natural gear camo finishes. http://www.kdgunsmithing.com/naturalgear.htm I also called Tim Newbold, he said that he no longer did the camo finishes. He sid it took to much time away from his other gunsmithing work. [ 01-13-2004, 11:23 AM: Message edited by: lawaterfowler ] Quote
RyanS Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Drake, I recently found two companies offering camo services. I haven't utilized their services at this time, so I can't attest to the quality of their work. Tarjak Inc. 2241 NYS Route 414, Waterloo, NY 13165. (315)539-8524. Speak to (Dawn Waldron)[email protected] The second company is http://www.trebark.com./second_skin Could you let me know who performed the work on Drundel's gun, it looks excellent. Quote
Drundel Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Tim did mine. Derek Edminisoin (sp?) is also known for doing a good job, do a search and you'll find the same info about him. Durratouch has also been recommended to me. Again, I am on the wrong computer, but look on the shooting page. Quote
