Just got my hands on a 11-87 Special Purpose 12 gauge that’s matte receiver and barrel. I haven’t ever had a gun hydro dipped but had a cousin who had a bad experience with it on a Glock, I know little about the process. I’m attempting to make kind of a “tribute user” sorta speak to the older model factory camo turkey guns of the early 90s. Anyone know of a treatment process that’s close to that thick durable finish that came in green leaf, tree bark, and bottomland?

There’s a company that’s online that will spray a cerakote finish that’s pretty much identical to the original bottomland guns of the 90s but it ain’t cheap. I can’t remember the company’s name though

Cerakote is always better option .heck I'd krylon rattle can before dipping
I would make my own stencils and spray duracote out of prevail sprayer before I dipped anything.
C series cerakote even better.and cerakote heat cure best on metal
Call Jonathan Jones at Alabama gun works and ask him if he cerakotes patterns.was told he does great work

Not to hijack the thread, but Almodux, what color Cerakote is that on your barrel and receiver? I have a gun with camo stock and foregrip that I want to get the barrel and receiver done in that color.

I usually let him do mine, but was in a hurry and needed a quicker turnaround time(my fault for waiting so long) and used Inverness Outdoors. I’ll definitely use Jay’s from here on out. I knew better, but did it anyway. 🤦♂️

I have a gun with camo stock and foregrip that I want to get the barrel and receiver done in that color. Midnight bronze——it’s burnt bronze darkened with black or? Like it MUCH better than burnt bronze. The pattern on the stocks is a free hand mix, by the applicator…,Arsenal Engraving and Coating. I like the midnight bronze, titanium, and various ODs for metal colors.

I've made my own when I didn't have any by mixing 3 parts burnt bronze with 1 part graphite black
