Has anyone done this?

I have had parts on my atv hydro dipped by Endless Hydrographics.  It came out good. I don't see why it wouldn't look just as good on gun parts. 

 

 

durability? 

I'm curious about the durability as well ....I'm sure if handled carefully etc anything would be fine...but if actually used as intended would you be peeling it off like a peeling sunburn? Lol

is this something you have done at a shop? or do you do it yourself?

I would say I put my quad through way more abuse than you will to a gun. I've had no durability issues.

I had my valve covers done on both of my race cars, the stuff has been pretty good so far. They have been hit plenty of times with brake clean and still look new. The graphics are covered in automotive clear coat and seem to hold-up really well.

What about heat sensitivity? Have you done it on any parts that heat up like a barrel would?

I have the hand guard on my POF done. The only spot it shows any signs of wear are the single rail section where I would mount/unmount my old Surefire foregrip.
