carbon fiber, and other non ano finishes?

[azzkikr]

ok guys i've searched and searched with no results of the one answer that i have.

someone here a while back posted a pic of a ule body mag that had a carbon fiber finish on the whole gun.

now i know that one specific gun was not annoed nor lazer engraved. it was the same type of finish done on hunting shotguns if i'm not mistaken.

i just cannot find the name for the type of finish and/or process that its done.

can someone here help me out please?

thanks
azzkikr :cry:

...that mag just had stickers on it, you can find them on websites that sell auto body stuff (pages for ricers)

edit- some company did make a new process for a carbon fiber finish, done on a cocker floating around, mabey your looking for that?

[fire1811]

go to the buy/sell/trade misc section over at pbnation.com there are people selling carbonfiber kits there.

ok guys, i really apreciate all the help and input, however non of it is what i'm looking for so far.

i know for a fact is not stickers, nor laser engraving.

i've held that gun in my hands before,

the process that is done by, and this is a very rough guidelines, a pattern of choice(carbon fiber as in the mag, or whatever camo pattern done on the shotguns) of a film like is layed over a bath of water, it is then sprayed with some sort of acid(i believe) that breaks up the film, then you put whatever material you would like the pattern on the film and into the water and presto, done.

again, that is a very rough guideline. but thats all i know, i need the name of that procedure or whatever its called.

so far, thanks for the help guys.

Azzkikr, I know exactly what finish you're talking about. Unfortunately, I have no idea who does it.

[kurama]

Film Dipping? I've seen a few camo finished markers through that process and I know it is fairly common for shotguns.

[Counterfeit_Syn5304]

Doesn't tippmann guns with the Realtree camo do that process.

[azzkikr]

thanks for the input guys, and help keeping this up. sure SOMEONE in the vast sea of AO'ers knows the name of this process.

Additionally, there are a few special instructions regarding the camouflage coating on the SPO versions. Unlike anodizing, although nearly as tough, the camouflage is a surface application, and as such is susceptible to damage from rough handling as well as from misuse of abrasive or corrosive chemicals or cleaners.

The camouflaging process entails a primer coat, the camouflage application and a final clear coat. Like most paintball products, the SPO should be rinsed or washed with plain water and wiped down with a soft cloth. As some paintballs may have an acidic content, paint should never be allowed to remain on the product for any extended period of time. (Always take care to protect any electronic components from moisture.)

Nicks and scratches are considered normal wear and tear. We recommend you use automotive touchup paint to correct any perforations of the camouflage surface. Besides keeping your product looking new, it may aid in preventing the possibility of peeling.

How much does something like that cost? Is it anywhere near as good as an ano or laser engraving? Im just asking cus it seems like it wouldnt hold up well at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
