Wanted: Custom Paint Work / Immersion Dipping / Water transfer "To Ready Primed Stock

[Whiskey500]

Required:

I have built a 2 piece custom stock from walnut (90%) and Polyester Resin (10%) the stock has a raising comb so I have classed the stock as a 2 piece, The stock has been primed several times and smoothed, has cured over 5 Months and is ready for a finish.
I hasve seen water transfer sevices in America who would apply a burl wod finish then a high gloss uv protective barrier, the cost of this came to only $65.00 so were looking at a mere £40.00, The catch was with shipping costs to and from MO USA with DHL (customer (me) had to arrange) came to £130 Each way!!! because of insurance? and size!...

Any way am looking for anyone in the UK that can provide a paint or transfer service OR even some pointer on where to go Please.
I would and could have taken the stock for a metalic black spray job down at the local car body shop but I dont trust car mec's with 6 months of hard work, its a garage after all!

Many thanks, and I have a low budget unfortunaly too!

I have had a air rifle, scope and bipod done by hydro graphics and it is excellent and ever so hard wearing, four years later and not a scratch on it

Mot Man, a while ago I contacted those Hydrographics people by email after 6 or 7 failed phone call attempts for some info into how the process works, as in do I need to book in, pay by card, where to send the stock and what id like done, so on, they replied a few days later but seemed a little blunt and just gave a round figure and that id also have to arrange the shipping, but that was all.... how did you get on with this company? even though you have said that the end result is a good one. They have the finishes Im looking for but I just dont want to ship off my stock and then find out they have no idea why its their or ti gets lost somewhere.

Thanks.

Is it a camo job your after? Or are you looking for something a bit different? As jak said, i work in a bodyshop and have just taken over from the other chap who runs it as he is moving back to wales.... Send me a pm and we can arrange something if you want.Brett :-)

Im looking for a knotted wood grain, Burl wood they call it, if i went down the camo lane id end up camo'ing the kit and caboodle! including that silver scope which I know would look wow but would blow my budget through the roof big time. so itll either be a burl wood design or at a lesser cost a high gloss metalic black and a uv protective coat.

Thanks
