I was curious how many have sent their duck guns back in to have them re-dipped, camo'd or cerekoted? Mine needs some TLC bad as most of the finish is worn off. I was considering sending it back to Rob Roberts to have it done. I believe it would cost me close to $500 when all said and done. It is the 25th Edition SBE2.

I,ve used Tarjac in New York a few times to dip shotguns. Excellent work. At one time they did the dipping of factory Benelli,s.

I had one stock dipped, and like mentioned, it wears off over time. I LOVE my remington versamax' but the bluing is junk compared to other companies. When I bought my first, and noticed how quick the rust was coming on the barrel, I elected to have it cerakoted instead. I will say, if you have to have a camo gun, do yourself a favor and pay to have your gun cerakoted and then dipped. You will NEVER have any exterior rust issues for the entirety of owing that shotgun. I was fortunate, as I worked at a gun shop at the time of buying my first, and the gunsmith there turned me onto cerakote. He said if I did the sandblasting, he would do the rest. That was the part he hated the most. I had every shotgun in my gunsafe done (except my pops and grandpas guns) and I do not regret it for a second.
