Multicam dip for AICS skin?

I recently bought an AICS 2.0 short-action with OD-green skins. The dealer was out of dark-earth (caramel) skins and I figured it didn't really matter that much anyway.

Toying with the idea of having the skins "dipped" multicam. Anyone know of a place that does this?

I don't know the benefit of having something "dipped", but 30calsniper does a wicked looking duracoat multicam. He'll be doing one of mine in it soon

I used Lakota for an AR, MCM Stock and Aimpoint. They are great people who know how to do firearms. They pay a lot of attention to detail. Be aware that the coating can and will chip. That said, I'm happy with the results...just paint flat earth if you get a big chip.

not dip but will give you an idea of what it looks like.
A couple of these have color substitutions or slight changes.

I know a guy near Houston that does this. He does great work for a lot of manufactures in the firearm market.

By simply typing one word into google you will find numerous places that specialize in this. "hydrographics" will net you endless hits in google. Give it a try.

Right, but dipping firearms is something that a lot of places are not willing to do or not capable of doing correctly. Asking on a firearms forum seems to be an appropriate way to find good places.

Thats a killer stick. J, could you shed some light on the details of that stock. Did you paint it yourself, or did it come like that. It's one of the best looking color schemes/patterns that ive ever seen. Thanks for posting it.

They will do Multicam, I bumped into the owner the other day. I have a set of AI skins in the MARPAT dip, and they are excellant.

Multicam is not listed, but call in, tell them that Nick Painter sent you, and he will take care of you, his name is Mike.
