Gunsmithing Stock Dipping v. Krylon

[DieselWSM]

I have a nice BR rifle but the guy I bought it from did a mediocre job with krylon on the stock. I have looked at a local dipping company and for about $80 they will dip it. Any thoughts? Bench rest rifle only. Will not see too much wear and tear like my hunting rifles.

I've had one stock dipped and it has held up very well (going on 4 years with no visible scratches or nicks on a hunting rig). I would say it is more durable than spray paint for sure. I would go with the hydro-dip.

This is the rifle he did for me, came out great. Fast service at a good price.

I payed $80 for the stock only, which appears to be about the going rate.

Added a black newer stock and mag tube to a woodland Benelli, ended up doing a Krylon job to make it match. Planning on clearcoating it to make it more durable.
