 | I'm looking for a company that can apply name-brand camo patterns by the dipping/floating process. I've seen this done on TV and in magazine articles, but can't remember who does it. Specifically, I'd like to do the aftermarket fairing on my ATV so it matches the rest of the machine. It's a 99' Sportsman 500 Remington Edition in Mossy Oak Breakup pattern.
Thanks

Word to the wise: I have the Team Realtree Chevy truck camo package offered a couple years ago that uses the dip process. Within two years all the exterior pieces faded and/or cracked and flaked off. The interior still looks great, but I wouldn't recommend dipping parts that are exposed to the elements. The company that did my truck parts appears to no longer be in business.
Team Realtree is offering the vinyl stick-on kits for 4-wheelers now that advertises fade resistance. From my experience with vinyl window stickers I would say this would be a better choice. Here's a link...

Check out http://www.camoclad.com as well. They're not a dipping firm, but they've covered an airplane with their vinyl and it's stayed on. Prices are reasonable as well. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com
