It's patented. I don't think any commerical gunsmith would do it. It doesn't look hard to replicate, it's basically woodland with no black and some white and lighter browns instead. The hard part doing it on your own would be guessing which paints to buy to match it without spending a ton of money.

How about other types of camo painting? It seemed like there was a time when there was a lot of vendors doing this and now I can't seem to find any.

I did figure out the colors, well close at least.
To do that pattern you would need to make some stick on templates using tracings of the original pattern. You would need to lay down the darkest brown and kahki first, then cover the portions you want in that color with the stick on templates. Then paint over the templates with the next two shades of brown, then cover those areas. Then apply the two shades of green, be sure to blend the colors together as unlike woodland. multicam uses two shades in the larger fields. Peel off the templates and post pics of your results. |

I took a piece of multicam gear to a local paint store and he took about 5 minutes to match the colors to his commercial numbers. Pretty easy to match them from there. I am just not brave enough to try it

Do tell what you came up with. Are they custom blended. I matched up some model paints pretty well. Always looking for something better. |

You could honor the pattent by using the water suspended film dip process. Whoever prints the film pays the royalty to Crye just like the do to Advantage, Realtree, Mossy Oak... and then go to work. The match would be perfect.

Thats what I would like to see. The hydrographic people could make a lot of bank doing patterns other that sporting patterns. |

Kat-Kamo
Kat performance coatings 21838 moens road atkinson il 61235 309 936 1323 309 936 7886 fax i was very impressed with their stuff. some multistage epoxy as i understand. they said it was hard to chip, but easy to repair if scratched or chipped. most of the requests for partial paint to full paint of scopes, mags, rifle, etc. were answered within the $80 to $140 range. i didn't find a website for them, but they had a short catalog with several photos. i'm having a 50 beowulf coated in the "winterlusion" camo they have...  looking forward to posting it in coming months. s. tank

I dont believe so. I read through the site and I dont think this is the hydrographic process.

hydrographic is basically the image, like "mossy oak" on a film of liquid, the gun (or whatever) is dipped in it and it looks like a photograph on the gun. Some of the commerical hunting guns with the photorealistic camo patters (like mossy oak etc) use this process. My only concern would be that it basically has a clear coat over it, like a car has on it's painted surfaces, so I don't know whether it would be as tough as something Norrells. |

I would contact Lewis Machine and Tool and ask them, it is their gun after all.

A good link is www.militarymorons.com. If you go to the AR misc page there is a good example of a home made digi cam pattern and photographs of a painted AR. I used it on my bolt gun and it worked great.

We are not discussing digital pattern. We are discussing multicam.
