Tried my hand at hydro dipping tonight on some Cabela's Plastic 50rnd 308 boxes and a couple Magpul 30rnd Pmags.

Pretty happy with the results. the First Pmag slipped outa my grip when dipping and did not come out that great but still looks pretty decent.

Now to get the balls to do my bell and carlson stock.

Then maybe the Mark 4 Leupold. Gotta dip some more stuff and get a comfort zone on it.

DAMN SON! That is slick!

Any downsides to it, what is needed for prep, and how is the durability and price?

Google "MYDIPKIT" and there is plenty of video on youtube to watch.

just search Hydro Transfer printing.

You clean the part, primer, base coat it and dip it. Not to difficult.

The kit was like $75 shipped and I still have lots of film left to keep going. You can buy shit loads of different patterns.

TWN Water Transfer printing has a bunch of patterns to choose from.

The pattern on my stuff is the Vietnam Camo.

Re: Boring Cabela's Plastic ammo Box to WOW!!!!

Awesome.... If I find any multicam when I Google the stuff its all over. My wife will probably hate me when I make EVERYTHING multicam!
 
Re: Boring Cabela's Plastic ammo Box to WOW!!!!

interesting looking stuff. How tough is the finish?
 
Re: Boring Cabela's Plastic ammo Box to WOW!!!!

As tuff as the clear coat finish you spray over the finished dipped product.

Coloshootr:

TWN Water Transfer has the Multicam film!! Have some on order.
Got a Mark4 leupold off a hide member that was Multicam dipped and I am looking into making the stock on the FN Spr match it.
