I have used these guys on three different occassions. I couldnt be happier with the work. They do a really good job of hiding/blending the seems so you don't really notice them. I had one of my blackwidow recurves dipped in the shadowgrass pattern and it blends in everywhere I have carried it.

I just got it back yesterday.
Hydro-Dip did a great job!

Looks good. Let us know how it holds up after being in the blind for awhile.
Just had Liquid Illusions in Chambersburg Pa do my BR rifle stock in the skulls. He then went over it with candy apple red and 4 coats of Automotive clear. In the sun it looks like the skulls are moving.

A top coat of DuraCoat clear will protect it from solvents.
I had my AR-10 decorated using the hydrographic process a few months ago. The local vendor did a great job and I am very happy with the finish.
However:
After assembling the rifle I pivoted the upper receiver open and the build-up of finish at the forward pivot pin location resulted in my inadvertently crushing the magazine well cracking the lower receiver.
I had no idea what I’d done until I went to insert a magazine. I had to bend the crushed portion back using vice grips. The rifle still shoots great but there are cracks in my lower receiver magazine well area.
Clean all of the finish from the forward pivot pin lug on the upper receiver to avoid this.
