That is assuming the camo pattern on the stock is smooth, if it is raised it adds a bit more work. Dave Wylde can Cerakote or Duracote or you could do your own Hydrographic transfer work if you fancy a bash at something unusual. You can get many unusual finishes.

Is there a supplier in the UK selling HG kits now ? I know they have been available in the USA but it seemed to licensed over here and only certain dealers could get hold of the equipment and materials required ,

I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with my skills in doing stuff myself, I'd sooner get someone to do it who has the required kit and talent.
Until I find out what's occuring with work it's all a bit a of a fact finding project, but it could be kind of fun.

A well known auction site lists quite a few kits and my understanding is all you need is a suitable tank with water in, possibly a small frame and some masking tape and activator.
