[QUOTE="Bullet78, post: 1722209"] as for the process the item gets a base coat, most patterns use basic colors some take specific base colors i have to use to get the patterns to look like they are suppose to, but also you can change the base colors and change the effect of the patterns, the patterns start out as a film on a roll, once you get the item prepped cleaned and base coated then you lay the film in a ss tank with water in it the film floats on the water, the water is kept at a certain degree then once you let the film set for the alotted amount of time i then shoot and activator on the film why its in the water which in turn turns the film to a liquid state and which i let set at another time alotted time then i have to dip the object at a certain degree angle of a angle and speed to get the object to cover correctly...and if not done correctly the pattern does not come out right or does not cover correctly then the process as to be done all over again as some people think it is easy trust me when i say its more complicated then most people think by just reading on the internet... and as for the finish as i quoted above i choose to use a durable clear coating from the automotive industry giving it alot more durability... and also as sanjuro82 quoted i do nit do barrels except for on shotguns and rifles bcus of high heat... So i hope i have kinda answered your questions there some other steps but my replies are pretty lengthy just highlighting the process lol lmao.. i will be posting some more pics soon.. bcus this process is not only regulated to guns... pretty much anything metal, plastic, glass or even bone can be dipped... car and truck interior, european mounts, rims, boat interior, guns, ect ect... thanx for the interest and the question... bcus most people havent heard of this bout its nothing new think of anything camo you have bought over the years same process... bows, arrows, rests, shotguns, tackle boxes...this process has been around for awhile....
