Stock Painting

Great durable finish for gun stocks. Careful with certain cleaners as they CAN effect the integrity of the dip finish. Other than that, tons of patterns available. Fairly reasonable in price too.
Why limit yourself to the east coast? It cost me $29 to ship entire shotgun from Virginia to Washington state with $1000 worth of insurance. Just print your own label from ups website. It's much cheaper then going to the ups store.
Hydrodipped finished are often times clear coated. (Preferably). Gloss, satin, matte. With Automotive clear. If you wouldn't let it get on your car hood, don't get it on your gun. Most petrols will not effect finish

They do really nice work and it had been around $150 the last I talked to them.

Depends on what finish you want. 90% plus is prep, sanding, and cleaning. I've done some dynamite jobs with plasticoat on factory plastic stocks. Sand, prep, clean, paint, clear coat. Almost any coating will scratch depending on what it encounters.
BUT the really great thing about rattle canning it yourself is you did it. Anything from desert camo to high gloss candy coat.

Yes that's always been the case in my experience is that they are clear coated after the dipping
