Title: Pricing expectations for Gun Dipping
Post by: kytrkyhntr on December 06, 2023, 08:51:27 AM
Those of you that have had it done, what is a rough estimate on having someone cerekote your gun and have the stock dipped. Been wanting a cerekote job on my 20 gauge and getting my stocks dipped in mossy oak. Maybe I'm not using the internet right because I can't seem to find anyone in central Kentucky who does what I'm looking for. I can find cerekote but I can't find the right camo dipper.

Looks like I'll be shipping if I want it done how I'd like which is fine.

If you have a suggestion for a place I'd like to know a price estimate or what you paid. Just to give me an idea. Some websites are gray about it

By the time you get everything done you can expect north of $200

I've been thinking about this. I've got an old Remington that needs a facelift. I've been debating on getting it dipped or just doing a rattle can paint job like some of my other guns

This applies to metal and plastic finish... Not wood or over moulded stocks but you can spray paint with a rattle can and then disassemble and use brake cleaner to remove the paint after it gets to looking bad.  Then just re-paint it in the latest trend.

Anybody wanting to have a gun dipped might consider the option of just buying a hydro-dip kit and doing it themselves.  You can buy kits with various camo patterns online (roughly sixty bucks, or so, last time I checked).  The kits have all the necessary materials needed for a DIY project, (except a tub, water, and masking tape).  You get plenty of camo material to dip a gun, and perhaps another if you are frugal with the material.

There are a number of YouTube videos showing the process. Once you have a feel for the steps involved, the dipping process doesn't take all that long.  If you are a DIY sort of fellow, you might attempt it.  At any rate, just a thought for those that are into doing this kind of thing on their own.  Doing it yourself is likely going to save you a couple hundred bucks or more.

I have only dipped one gun...and it was a bit trickier than the videos make it look.  it turned out satisfactorily for me, although there are imperfections in my final product that I can personally live with.  On the other hand, if you are a perfectionist, you might prefer to have a professional dip your gun.

I was just having this conversation with a friend of mine. I can't seem to find anyone around me, NC or Ga. Any suggestions out there?

I sent my 410 to Tarjac in Waterloo, NY and they did a fantastic job. Cerakote barrel, mag tube, and receiver. Dipped forearm and buttstock.
Pricing is on their site(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231213/fe818acaa5985fee3b4efe41ec288ef0.jpg)
