Here is mine done in Bottomland I believe they call it the newer style bottomland..I honestly will never get another gun dipped in this pattern until someone can start making it darker,like the pattern really is.Color and Camo did mine..they did a fine job but I honestly think it looks crappy because it's not dark.

I like the bottom land camo but I think it looks better when the pattern is ran length wise with the gun like vaturkeys. I had mine done in obsession by camo solutions.
Knoxx Stock was dipped to match the Realtree advantage on my 870 SM...done by Color and Camo

I always thought Natural gear looked good on guns. Debating between nat gear and bottomland for my benelli
Very nice guns! Thinking of having one dipped this summer after the spring rush. Want to go with mossy oak duckbind or maybe bottomland. Any recommendations on where to have it done?

Rob Roberts crew at gobblerguns does great dipping jobs and they do MO as well as Nat gear. I was torn between Nat gear and bottomland but went with bottomland and it turned out sick

Color is dependent on the base coat color they use. They should have done it with a darker paint.
Nice rigs all, Was it a big job gophert to dip your 870 ?
Don Mullis of Camo Solutions did these for me.

Well, let me first say, it was not as easy as youtube would make it sound. The dipping is not the problem, it's the prep work. I read just about every forum before I dipped my gun. It is pretty involved, but the finished product turned out perfect and looks as good if not better than factory dipped jobs. At the end of the day, if you like to do things yourself, you can do as many as two guns for the price of one. If you want details, shoot me a pm.
Here's the post from when I finished it. I explain a little more about it down in the post.

I thought it turned out pretty nice. He dipped it last year with the regular stock and this year I decided to add the steady grip so I had him dip it a couple of weeks ago. It matched up nice.

Yeah man he did a good job and it looks sweet. I did all the same stuff even down to matching the steady grip stock I bought later except in the sbe2 version. Yours makes me want a Vinci though haha

That is a very nice looking gun you got there!
The gun on the bottom is my browning silver hunter the factory dura touch is junk IMO. I dipped it myself last year and it turned out pretty good. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/11/ynurezag.jpg)
Some good lookin guns guys. I've got a question, can you dip a gun that has parts ( barrel and stocks) that are factory dipped?

Yes but whoever you go with make sure they are removing that before the new dip. You don't want it going over film that's already on there. I know Rob Roberts crew blast it down to the medal but I'm sure others do as well

I agree with that. I took mine down to bare metal with a paint remover, it brought it right off. I sprayed out down let it sit for about 1 min.and washed it off with a water hose, it was the browning factory duratouch.
i have heard good an bad about doing it yourself...is it really that hard??????

Is Rob Roberts set up to dip guns or is he still sending his stuff to Camo Solutions?

to be honest i don't know, from what i understand the do the break down and what not at his shop then send it next door to get it actually dipped. The real part i liked about Robs stuff was he told me if it started to peel or chip bad in a year or even more send it back and he would make it right.
I mainly used him because I was already sending my gun there to get worked on so it saved me in shipping.

It takes practice, I dipped a light switch cover and then I dipped this shotgun. I started out worth the small parts first to get a little more practice. It turn out good enough for me. I guess I had beginners luck, I did my abolt the very next day and it was kind of tight in the tub I had. I didn't have but 2" space on the stock and that was turned from corner to corner. I had to do the stock twice on it because I screwed up the first time. But I think if you make sure you have plenty of room, and you like to DIY you would be fine just take you're time. It also helps when you dip it to have an extra set of hands. After you submerge the item , especially larger items, to have them clean the taped edges out of the way before you pull the item out. That's what messed my stock up, I went to pull the item out of the water and the taped edges got tangled on the stock.
Here's mine from Color and Camo. Turned out really nice.

How has the dip been holding up for people that have used them in the field? Thinking about dipping my 870 myself.
