Hydro dipping??

[NorthernPF]

I have a coworker who is thinking of hydro dipping a composite stock from a Tikka T3X. His girlfriend wants pink camo. Where would be the best place to get this done??

Mild 2 wild in Mississauga is good. If he's still doing it.

Greater Napanee Gunworks are a good shop also

Sent my Wildcat to Victoria Hydrographics. Had it dipped in KUIU Verde 2.0. Turned out good.

Depends if it is real Composite or a factory Tupperware , Wildcat Composites has a new process or coating for durability. https://www.facebook.com/wildcatcomposites/posts/1616613478349071

That is exactly what I was hoping to see here. I have a McMillan hunters edge on my tikka and would like to get it dipped. I hate the tan speckles. Did your stock have speckle paint from McMillan? Mine does, and while I think it would maintain it grippyness, I wonder if it will not look as good, dipped over the texture?

Nothing. If it's her gun. Or shes a keeper.

No, mine was the McSwirly/moulded in color, which is a gelcoat I think. I would tend to think they prep the stock beforehand, probably some sanding.

Mine looked like this before:

did you have to take your recoil pad off ?

Well I ordered some film to have my McMillan hunters edge dipped. I changed my mind on the Kuiu, and selected this one called Disolve Bare camo. Pretty much unheard of via google search in North America, I think it originated in Australia.

No, I sent it in as is, the pad is glued on. I removed the swivel studs.

Yeah, mine is glued also and they said leave it also.

How does it hold up?
My kimber adrionidac factory paint is all rubbing off and thought about getting it done.

I'll let you know. I'm sure it won't be as hard as the factory McMillan paint, you could throw the stock down a mountain and it wouldn't get marked up. If I didn't HATE the color, I wouldn't be dipping. Coincidentally the Kuiu dip is now an option from Mcmillan on the hunters edge.

Stock is dipped. Waiting on 2 coats of clear and should have it this week. I’ll post more pics then.
