    I've thought about it but have seen it peeling off dipped markers first hand.I wouldn't mind dipping a loader though.

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND! For the same reasons that you shouldn't try DIY anno. It takes quite a bit of practice to get it right. Hydro is not that expensive. Send it to Topgun they have a place that does incredible work for very reasonable pricing.

    Check out this thread on MCB... I posted a bunch of their work. They did my warp RT and have another one of my guns they are working on now.

    If you are interested I will give you contact info

    i agree with going with topgun. they dipped my xmag and my axe, and they both look great. and i believe it was cheaper than getting ano'ed.

    i had a whole gun dipped including barrel. it's about 300 cheaper than sending a whole gun to caustic.

    How does hydro feel compare to anno? is it any thicker?

  18. #18
    it is definitely thicker. I had a hard time getting my spire into the feedneck after hydro.

    I hope to make a pump worth hydro dipping soon. It would be a great solution to a bunch of mismatched chrome/nickel parts on a build.

  20. #20
    Its definitely a more affordable alternative. My red marker up there was also a spare parts build.

    Does Topgun put some sort of clear coat ontop of the dip?
