camo rail

[josh1963]

I have a 2008 equinox crossbow. It works great but I like the look of to 2009 with the camo rail, Can I camo dip my rail and front end? How do they do it at the factory?
Thanks

You best bet is to sell what you have and buy what you want. Used excaliburs command a pretty high price, and for what you would pay to have it dipped it would be cheaper to sell and then buy the all camo version. This way you get a camo riser too, and it will all match the stock. There was a recent thread from new guy about a camo dip kit thats for sale, but even that is going to cost a minimum of 100.00 usd. 200.00 can.

Not sure if the " dip " would stand up to the abrasion of the string / serving / arrow . Dipping ( hydrographics ) is just an ink pattern top coated with an automotive type clear coat ( either mat or gloss ) .

Price would probably be in the $100 -150 range . I have a friend in the business that I have helped . you could give him a call .

You could try camo tape along the sides of the rail, leaving the top smooth.

Mind you i don't knowed nutten about the camo dip stuff. I figure the rope cocking hooks will rub anything along the top-side of rail real quick, so much fer a dip job unless its anodized very well

There was a post a couple months ago about a guy who was unhappy about only having the all camo version available in a new e' nox. He liked the gray rail better. Do a search and see if he wants to swap

to have the rail only camo dipped to match the other parts might be the hard . i believe its realtree ap . if it were me i would just send the whole bow out to be dipped in a custom color/ then you would have a crossbow that looks like no other. maybe buy the new home dip kit for 100$ and do it yourself. camo dip is like a car finish. its tough but will wear though over time. i would think it would be easily touched up though.
