Tell me which you guys like the best. I'm down to these tree choices, maybe others, but I like these.

snakeskin.

marble looks too much like acid wash and tiger stripe looks kinda 80's...

Snakeskin is full of win. It would be nice to be able to get that finish in something other than water-transfer.

The marble was been overdone.

There was a shocker done in the same pattern as your first picture. Can't seem to find a picture of it though; only the latter two.

Snake Skin

Marble

Depending on the gun, the Snakeskin can look wonderful or downright crap. Acid wash is always a cool ano. Yes it is overplayed, but it still looks nice.

way too agg for me

Sly1 · 05-26-2008, 10:04 PM

Well it's not really anodizing.

Tarjac Website

I'm thinking of trying this out. Already called and got a price. The process will take about a 30 day way. So if your 14yrs old and can't wait or you don't have an extra gun this is not a place for you to send your gun. I'm going to send the "Wave Cocker" body and have this done. It will be my Father's day Present from my Son. Not to sure if I'm going to use the above three choices. Also I'm not sure how tuff this stuff is. So if you slide alot, don't get it, I'm sure it scratches just like anodizing. It's just sopmething new I want to try. First I have to get out of Virginia lol.

Water transfer is pretty damn tough from what I understand. I spoke with the the owner of Lakota Industries (they do licensed Multicam) in depth about it last year. They use the finish on firearms and ATV's so it must hold up fairly well. Tippmann uses water transfer on their SpecOps markers.

Ive been contemplating using the process on a Tippmann A5/B5 project for a while now.
