I have had my Cooper Excalibur a while now, it has the black stock with red webbing and is cerakoted in graphite black(metal). I am thinking about sending the stock out to be painted or hydrodipped. I plan on keeping the gun for the long haul but I am somewhat impulsive. I am just wondering if I would seriously devalue it by painting the stock ( like sending to GA Precision to get painted)?

I can't imagine that would change the value at all.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Thanks

Which is more durable? I really like the kuiu vias camo hydrodip( a lot) but I like GAP's camo scheme too.

Help, opinions!

Maybe Kiuiu. I don't have any camo. The Whitetails can't see my stock in the Bale blind or the other ground blind or the Tree House but I really like some of the new camo's so I guess it's your choice!

I'm not particularly asking about the camo choice. But I think the only way I can get the kuiu vias is hydrodipped. I guess I am wondering if the durakote paint that GAP uses is more durable with a good finish, vs hydrodipped with a good finish. If the durakote is better, I like it enough to go that direction.
