Anyone tried hydroprinting?  Northwest Hydroprinting has a pretty decent digital camo that they can use FDE as the base color.

Just sent some stuff off to get dipped.  Haven't got it back yet though.  If it turns out good I'm going to be sending some more stuff out.

I have a DE that has hydrographics on it.  They look super sharp!  Not sure about the durability, as I don't shoot the Eagle that much.

Nice, post some pic's when you get it, let me know what you think.  I'll be tearing mine down tonight to send some pieces in.

They did a great job for me if we are talking about the same company, Hydro-dip.com.  They messed up the first time (the dipper did not read the directions and did what he thought I wanted, not what the front office and I had discussed and not what the letter of instructions said to do), but they quickly corrected it, redoing both pieces the way I wanted and it looks great and the turn around was quick also, both times.  When I tried to send them repeat business to do the same thing to another forend (no stock this time) they gave me a price of dipping a forend in the same OD CF pattern that I had done before but this time they wanted $125 for one gallon of the O.D. base paint plus normal charges for the forend, and they kept the paint!  They wanted over twice the price for the forend alone than they charged me for the stock and forend before. That made no since to me at all so obviously, I did not give them repeat business.  That is a shame too because I really liked the job they did for me the first time.  Quality of their work was first rate but I guess they changed their pricing structure which priced their work out of my range.

Big bore, if you are from the Indy area there's a mom/pop hydrographics company (google it) that does killer work and have very reasonable prices to boot.  I used to see them at the 1500 pretty regularly, not sure now, since I moved next door (OH).

Also depending on what part of IN you are in, there is a guy based out of Louisville that does hydrographic. Check out Armor Hyde
