Environment Matched
Camouflage.
We study your hunting terrain and build a pattern around it. Every piece is one of a kind. Send us a photo of where you hunt, or just describe it.
Built for Where
You Hunt.
No templates. Ever.
Every pattern is hand-applied from scratch. We study your terrain, your light conditions, your environment, and build something that has never existed before.
30 years of pattern study.
We have spent three decades analyzing breakup, color theory, and shadow. Send us a photo of where you hunt, or just describe it. We take it from there.
The whole rig.
DuraCoat air-cures with no oven, so we can coat your rifle, optics, polymer stock, and bipod all in one session. Nothing gets left behind.

Simple Process.
Exceptional Result.
01
Share Your Vision
Send a photo of your hunting terrain, or describe your idea: colors, environment, whatever you have in mind. We work with both.
02
We Design Your Pattern
We study your terrain and hand-apply each layer of the camouflage design using DuraCoat, a two-part epoxy that cures to milspec hardness without an oven, so we can coat every surface of your rig.
03
Pick Up & Disappear
Your rifle or bow is coated, cured, and ready. Your prey won't know what hit them.
Just want a solid color instead?
Same DuraCoat material, same shop, same hand, minus the pattern design step. Pick a color (FDE, OD green, Sniper Grey, Flat Black, or a custom match) and we coat the whole rig in it.

How is your camouflage different from dip kits or hydrographic transfers?
Every pattern is hand-applied from scratch with DuraCoat. No templates, no stencils, no dipping. We study your terrain (or your reference photos) and build a one-of-a-kind breakup pattern layer by layer. No two jobs leave the shop identical.
Do I need to send a photo of my hunting terrain?
Photos help but are not required. Describe where you hunt: elevation, vegetation, rock color, light conditions, and we will design around it. If you already have reference images of your actual hunting ground, send them. Terrain-specific patterns always outperform generic camouflage in the field.
How long does a custom camouflage job take?
Typical turnaround is 1 to 2 weeks from the time we receive the firearm. Multi-layer terrain patterns on a full rig (rifle, optic, stock, suppressor) take toward the longer end. We quote a specific timeline with every project.
Can you coat my optic, polymer stock, and suppressor along with the barreled action?
Yes, and this is one of the main reasons we use DuraCoat instead of Cerakote. DuraCoat air-cures at room temperature, so there is no 250°F oven stage that would damage optics, polymer, or suppressor baffles. We coat the whole rig as one system so everything matches.
How durable is a custom camouflage finish?
DuraCoat cures to milspec hardness as a two-part epoxy with some flex, which helps it resist chipping on rifles that see real hunts. As a durability benchmark outside firearms: Joel coated the roof rack on his Toyota Tundra in DuraCoat eight years ago and it still hasn't sun-rotted in the Arizona sun, never garaged. Proper care on a rifle (cleaning, storage) extends it further.
How much does it cost?
Jobs start at our $250 shop minimum. Custom camouflage is priced by color count: $150 per color on a rifle, $120 per color on a handgun, plus a flat $50 surface prep fee. Most layered hunting patterns run 3 to 5 colors, and the whole rig (optic, stock, suppressor) is included in the color count. Full breakdown including our $1,400 Carnimore Balls to the Wall package is on our gun coating cost page.
Do I need a local FFL to ship my firearm?
No. Carnimore is a licensed FFL, so you can ship your firearm directly to us from anywhere in the United States, no middleman dealer required. We also accept drop-off by appointment at our shop in New River, Arizona.

Arron
"I've been using Joel Broersma and Carnimore for around 5 years now. Everything from building a custom hunting rifle, to duracoating, to building custom AR's, to buying silencers. Joel does it all, he does it well, and he does it at a fair price. Great service with great results. You can't go wrong."
Daniel Dupuis
"I've had an outstanding experience with Carnimore. Their attention to detail, commitment to quality, and excellent customer service truly set them apart in the industry. The firearm I purchased exceeded my expectations in terms of reliability and craftsmanship. I highly recommend Carnimore to anyone looking for top-tier products and a company that stands behind their work."
