POTD: Pro-2 Customs’ Unreal IWI Carmel Rifle - Cel Shading / Animé

Let’s go back to some special moments of the SHOT Show in this Photo Of The Day. I found this IWI Carmel rifle in a Cel Shading / Animé type of Cerakote, and it was absolutely unreal. The artist is from a company called Pro 2 Customs in Arizona, and they’ve used Cerakote H-128 Hunter Orange, H-144 Corvette Yellow and H-214 Bullshark Grey to create this illusion. Even when I looked at it closely, it was difficult to understand it was a real firearm and not an animé or toy gun.

Pro 2 Customs offers a wide range of firearm finishes and customizations. As a certified Cerakote applicator, they also specialize in KG Gunkote, Gun Candy, and Norrell's Moly Resin.

This type of painting style can be applied to multicam as well. (IWI Zion)

They had a Tavor 12-gauge Shotgun in the booth as well.

I am not a big fan (at all) of this kind of Louis Vuitton pattern, but I wouldn’t mind a suppressed Uzi Pro in my collection.

    Actually love it. Could easily become a trend on some guns

    I love the Borderlands themed gun. Michigan Legislation to have a stroke in 3...2...1....
