| Does anyone know what colors I need to match Multicam? I have called Lauer’s. They sent me a catalog but no color samples. They won’t even offer a suggestion. I called three times and e-mailed twice. They have never answered an e-mail. How close can a catalog be to the real color? |
I'm not sure how to reference these to DC colors, but MilitaryMorons says:

Well if you're really feeling like splurgin you can give Dynamic Finishes a call or check out their website. They have Multicam water transfer. I got a quote and I stopped them before they even go to the end of my list....pricey!!! Military Morons did a review on it and Crye and DF are working together as it is the true MC finish. $300 for an AR...$60 for an Aimpoint...$XX for shipping....$XX for light....$XX for so on... Get my point?  Plus they said it would take 5-7 weeks IIRC b/c they would have to take it to their gunsmith to break it down...then dip it...etc etc then ship it back. Maybe if I had the money and didn't need anything else but seriously...woah! Good luck finding the right colors. Your best bet is gonna be trial and error. I'd recommend buying a square yard of MC fabric from Crye (I think it cost $8 or so) and then start matching. |
Well, when I asked about having a refinisher replicate a Multicam pattern for my AR with accessories, it was like $850!!  I've been meaning to talk with the DF guys, because one of my items is an M203. It just wouldn't look right to have my MRP done in MC without the M203 being done too. 
|
I'd love to just have a 203  I think I've heard the company/person who is charging $850.... BTW I may have them do my 870 or G17 but I simply can't spend that much when I could get another optic or upper for that price...and hell the $850 price...I'd throw in another 4-500 and have a damn nice XCR... |
What is MJK? |
So your saying a Jeep is probably out of the question minus a Powerball winning ticket? |
|
I don't even know if a Powerball ticket will get it done. I had asked about having a few non-firearm related items done in MC by DF, each piece roughly the size of a 30 round AR mag. They said it would be $100 each! Basically said they had no interest in doing the item, so this was their way of saying "Frak off." I was rather disappointed by that response myself. Still, they are the game in town at the moment for a genuine pattern. I'll probably still have a rifle sent off to be done at some point.... |
I'm still waiting for Egg to make me some Multicam lingerie for the fiance unit |
Dude, dont make fun of Finance Units, thats how you get paid, piss them off and they will go into SIDPERS and say your dead 
|
That's Fiance, as in future wife, not Finance, as source of income! Generally for guys, "Fiance" unit and "Finance" unit are rarely the same entity..... 
|
It was a joke for goodness sake. If you were overseas, during the cold war, and didnt like local strange, there was a real good possibility that you could have a Fiance Unit, assigned to the Finance Unit, since there aint no womenz assigned to the Infantry. |
| Wondering how Duracoat holds up agains a high wear area. When I painted the tops of my magazines red, I waited the recommended cure time. Upon the first insertion into the rifle all of the magazines had a chip in the paint. I gave each magazine two coats. I should mention that the black oxide did not hold up at this point on the magazine. It maybe that because there was no oxide on that point the Duracoat didn't have a good substrate. |
I think there are a lot of companies who have not gone to finishing magazines yet simply b/c the coating doesn't hold up. Did you blast your mags before painting them? |
