Yup its crazy looks fantastic too. I Benelli came from the factory dipped but before I had this gun I was thinking of getting my other gun dipped. Its about 200-300 do get a gun dipped going thru a Gander Mountain/Cabelas. I am fairly sure they contract it somewhere else tho.

My buddy here in Maryland got his bike dipped and painted by a local shop that does a good amount of work with our local dealer.

You can buy kits for under $100 that will do a couple of guns.

I think the paisley would look good in a dark color like blue, or a real deep green.

The parts are prepped and painted with a base color (just like painting a car or bike)color will depend on the pattern you are using then the parts are dipped through the pattern (there are alot of different patterns everything from camo,woodgrain,skulls,flags,$100bills) that is floating in a tank after the part is dipped it is rinsed and let dry then it is sprayed with clear then sanded and buffed so it is really just like a paint job.

Here are a couple of pics of work I did on motorcycles
