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.
