    Fluid coatings - whos used them

    Average durability with their extremely thin coating when requested.

    Their thicker coatings are very tough.

    Yes I got them to coat the stock on my Browning A-bolt, as it was very sratched up and rough looking. Cost about $120 at the time. Came back looking good. Has handled the rough stuff better than I thought it would, but the "corners" and wearing points on the stock are now starting to show through. Plus it has a couple of good scratches where it was dropped out of a chopper from a few feet up...

    Very good service, and I found that they're happy to talk options with you.

    Hi Bryan

    Cost was $207 including freight, cost additional $20 to ship to them. 2 Week turnaround, bit longer than normal as they redid the coating.

    Cheers

    Cheers for that, I just had a look at the website, they have some nice patterns. Quite a few skulls though...
