Rob Roberts Custom gun works. He does everything for Benelli. Does incredible work. Quick turn around time too.

Take a look at iron horse hydrographics out of Tennessee. He does excellent work.

Rob Roberts out of Batesville, AR. I haven't had anything done by him personally but have seen his work. It's very good in my opinion

I would find a good cerakote applicator before I dip a gun again. Im getting ready to have the dip taken off 2 of my guns.

Wow. I have two dipped. One going on 6 years and my second on 3. I hunt hard with them and other than a little nick here and there , they have held up great for me. What happened with yours?

I have had 4 guns dipped

First was color and camo..They had my gun for 4 months,straight up ignorant people.

Second was Rob Roberts..Yea I bought into that snake oil,first season in chips and cracks all over in the dip..That gun had more permint sharpie marker the actual dip...Also had a yeti cooler lid dipped by them and that thing ended up with more pimples then a 16 year old..funny how that stuff happens to things that just sit on the back of a truck.

Third was Carolina Graphic Enterprises..it's going on 4 years now and looks like it did the day I got it..They just done my 4th gun and also fixed the yeti cooler lid that RR did...anyone can dip a gun but not many people pay attention to the details.


For the OP pick wisely (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200202/9f655b506444687c13a957454695f552.jpg)

Both of mine are 10+ years old. All the sharp edges of the reciever as well has the end of the barrel is worn down to bare metal. Some of it is rusting. Camo Solutions did them. They did a good job, but I can get a black cerakote job that is cheaper and will last longer. I can get a camo cerakote job for about the same price. Ill take cerakote over a dipped job any day of the week. Cant figure out how to attach pics.

I'll second this. They are very easy to deal with and the turnaround time was awesome. They run some great monthly specials as well. Very satisfied with the finished product.

Got my sons 20 gauge done by Ethridge Hydro Graphics.  Been on the gun for a few years now and still holding on strong.

Just got this back from baker hydrographics. I'm less than impressed. Feels like sandpaper and is spyderwebbed al throughout.
