TWN Launches Vector Camo Hydrographic Film

Vector Camo Hydrographic Film

We are excited to announce our all-new Vector Camo hydrographic film. This revolutionary design replaces the need for hand painting rifle stocks one at a time. Custom painting rifle stocks is time-consuming, requires a skilled painter, and puts a drag on your bottom line. Not anymore! Vector Camo can be applied to many stocks simultaneously in the same dip cycle.

The Problem

Custom painting a rifle stock requires a skilled painter and is very time-intensive. It requires you to apply and remove multiple layers of stencils or use a sponge to apply paint in a specific pattern. This drives up your labor costs and reduces your production output. Also, the quality and consistency of the finished product can vary drastically from one stock to the next.

The Solution: Vector Camo

TWN’s Vector Camo hydrographic film solves all these problems and streamlines firearms decoration at scale. Vector Camo is designed to be applied to many stocks using TWN’s Production Arm. This method of Water Transfer Printing decoration increases production output and yields repeatable, high-quality results.

The Vector Camo pattern features an olive green and sage green color scheme that can be applied to a carbon fiber or polymer rifle stock, with no tedious stenciling required. These colors work in tandem to provide contrast and enhance your product’s shelf appeal.

How to Use Vector Camo Hydrographic Film

Vector Camo is extremely versatile and easy to use. You can apply it over a carbon fiber stock, black synthetic stock, or a custom color. You can even make a black polymer stock look like carbon fiber by dipping it in WTP-940 Sport Carbon and then applying WTP-1107 Vector Camo.
