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

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

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

I have saw on here before about someone in Ky. that does a really good job, maybe search the gun section.

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
