Water transfer printing on firearms.

[JAY]

I recently spray painted a snakeskin design on my DPMS 308 using fishnet material as a stencil. I think it looks ok, but I definitely didn't do the greatest job. I have been thinking about doing some water transfer printing on a few of my firearms, but I have absolutely no experience with it.

I would like to know how easy the process is? How long does it take? What equipment is needed? Where is the best place to buy kits? Any other helpful information would be appreciated as well.

Pretty sure you gotta have the set up to do water transfer and it's not cheap it involves tanks and chemicals IIRC

This is the snakeskin pattern I did. I guess if water transfer is so expensive, I will just stick with spray painting.

Not bad for a first timer.   Id leave it alone.   Just my 2 cents.

Don't quote me on it but I know a few guys who got set up doing it a part time job and it was a giant step.

Other than it being red I like it!
