What kind of prep is needed for that?

Scuffed it with scotch brite, cleaned with acetone, then spray base color. Would have been easier if the parts were raw but it still wasn't bad. Didn't want to contaminate the media in the media blast cabinet is why I didn't just blast it. Blasting is defiantly easier but we ruff stuff up all the time and it works well.

pretty durable, it hase a solid color base then the camo then a clear coat so its as durable as anything else. im sure itll get scratched up but it looks a whole lot better than rattle can. i have several of my shotguns and ars and other stuff dipped and it holds up pretty good

looks good. kind off off subject but have yall ever dipped a yeti cooler? i got lucky as hell and won a 65 qt. last year at a bass tournament. love it but hate that its white and was unable to exchange it for a tan one. thought it would look sick if i could get it dipped in Max-4.
