Custom hydro-diped Galil SAR and Sig P228

Very cool! Shame it doesn't stand out quite so much on the 228 due to the grip texture but the rifle looks awesome.

Is it expensive/difficult doing hydro-dipping?

 
Difficult yes,because you have strip the gun to smallest bits and there is lots of painting involved (primer,under coat,hydro-dipping,clear coat...etc)... expensive... yes and no...if you have proper space,water tanks/tank,equipment then no but if you don't then yes...

The Sig looks much better in person but it doesn't look as good as Galil that's right,there is almost endless possibilities colours and patterns...

 
Not really to my personal taste, but it seems like it gives a nice finish

 
Nice work! I am interested in having this done once I get money together for a pistol. Would you be able to quote me a benchmark figure for a Glock slide? (In Kryptek Mandrake)

Thanks but as it for now I just gather info and I'm looking into interest of people but it wouldn't be more then £35 to get it done.

Yeah, that's why I'm not too keen on hydrodipping unless it's for a complex camo pattern like Kryptek or something. IMO anything like this looks a bit too gimmicky for me

Fair enough but at the and of the day all of airsoft is "gimmicky" and "fake" because we all running around with fake (or RIF's) guns and play military,ain't that right? ;)

So why we can't bring "Pimp My Gun" thing into airsoft and personalize our guns bit more? :D

It's fair enough if other people and you want to do that, but I personally don't like it. At the end of the day we're all gimmicky as you said, but I don't see the point of spending £70 or more on renting for 3 months, getting a UKARA defence and spending a few hundred on a realistic AEG that you're going to paint like something out of a video game

I guess it's all personal preference. I would personally go Kryptek on the entire gun.

 
I would love to hydro-dip my G&G UMG in a 'carbon fiber' look! If someone does this make sure to post on here!!

Holy crap. This is some Counter-Strike Global Offensive stuff. I'd love to do my G36C in a similar style to this:
