Pippps Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I just had my Thompson Center Arms system airbrushed. I found a website www.camo-graphics.com and had them customize the black synthetic stock. I can't say enough about how great they were. If I can figure out how to post photos here you'll see it in this thread. The artist even asked for my permission to post pictures of it in their website gallery since he likes the look of the TSA stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 That looks fantastic! The only reason I didn't buy my SBEII in camo was because of all the bad comments I'd heard about the factory finish. This may well be the way to go! Thanks for sharing.

Irish Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Looks good. Tucker301 if you do a search on some of the other gun forums you will probably run across some threads of people painting their guns themselves. It might not look as good, but usually is cheaper. You might also be able to find an autobody shop that has an airbrush artist who will do it for a reasonable price. I really wanted to get my gun professionally painted, but $350 is more than I wanted to pay. The $350 wasn't through this artist, I have no idea what he charges.

Pippps Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Jeez $350.00 is pricey The www.camo-graphics.com guys did my TSA for less than half that -around 150. !!! Including BOTH forearms, and said they'd do a scope for free with a three peice set like the TSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippps Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 re: type of finish They use enamel with a flex agent, over a black undercoat. The whole "shootin' match" is coated with four coats of a matte laquer to toughen it up. that way, if I somehow manage to scratch it (unlikely) it will blend with the pattern, since it will show black undercoat.

TurkeyKrazy Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Your guns look great.I wonder if the paint will hold up on a Sythetic stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
