brett1985 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) good hard finish, depending on how its clear coated. some good designs about, but there is varying quality of films and workmanship. ive had a few bits done, and my best advice is to find a well known hydrographics shop/company and use them. the guys i use are based in helston, cornwall. theyre on farcebook as west coast customs uk. i wouldnt use anyone else....

thepasty Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I saw that guys results on the cornwall shooting facebook page, looks good! I'm going to get some graphics and have a go myself, having watched a few vids it looks very straight forward.

A1Decoy Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Would love to see some pics once its done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 luckily my old man is into fish so plenty of old fish tanks around to do it in Theres only the one gun of mine that I'd do it on and thats my trusty old cz511 but I wonder how it will take to the chequering or whether I need to sand that out. I'd probably get a spare stock to try it on if I started sanding etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

station Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 After you have dipped it and get to the clearcoat stage unless you have spraying knowledge and equipment then go to your local car paint suppliers and you can get aerosols of 2k lacquer that will provide the best durable finish - just decide on gloss or semi gloss.

ATB good bit of advice there. you can get a very good finish with a rattle can nowadays. and the selection is huge.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
