[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 572158, member: 5219"] I had two stocks hydro dipped by Bell and Carlson. [url=http://www.bellandcarlson.com/]Bell and Carlson[/url] I had one of their stocks I got used as part of a rem 700 and had it done in freedom green. The other was a McMillan done in Natural gear. Sold the rem but still have the McMillan. It has held up to every solvent spilled on it. There is one feature that I discovered that makes this covering even more versatile. You can write on top of the hydrofilm with a sharpie. It can be easily removed with CRC brakeclean in the green can. I messed around with several colors on top of the natural gear. By filling in some areas with green or brown I was able to wet a patch and blend in the color. If I wanted to change things I just washed it off with a few patches of brakeclean. The natural gear snow might be the perfect candidate for sharpie coloring. If I ever do another hydrofilm that is the color I'd do. I have tried to get them to do ASAT camo but so far no luck. ASAT has their own do it yourself setup but I am not comfortable doing it myself. First pic shows original pattern [IMG]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb4/RossLeggett/Someriflepics006.jpg[/IMG] I did a fast pattern with a large black sharpie nothing very fancy but fun to change the appearance.
