But does it come in Multicam?
I does not, and I wouldn't recommend it with full masking. For one, with the masking, there will be hard lines at different elevations, which will catch your mice feet, or cause very fast wear. If you want an actual high def camo print, I would recommend getting the piece hydrodipped, and then a Cerakote matte clear. The problem here is getting the cerakote to stick reliably. For Cerakote, the surface needs to be etched. Doing this with aluminum involves media blasting with specific grits. This alone would kill any hydrodipped image.
The version of cerakote I've felt before was smooth but on the side of a very fine sand-paper-ee..
It didn't feel like porcelain ceramic gloss..
Are there different cerakotes ?
Yes there are. To the public there is the C, H, W, V, P, PC, and MC series. Then to law enforcement and military only, there is the HIR series which was designed for visual and infrared signature management.
The C is a high temp ceramic coating that has a room temp cure. This is what I am using for my test pads, and what was used on Mstarrs pad. For the pad I currently have at Rainbow, I am using the H series. The C series has a lower friction but lower abrasion resistance. This customer wanted the touch higher friction.

The actual ceramic is essentially ground up and suspended in the paint which also includeds, pigments and solvents. When it gets sprayed, the solvents evaporate, and leave the solids from the pigments and the ceramic. Besides, a gloss finish can cause issues with standard LED based optical sensors. Laser are more forgiving. I have heard that some laser sensor can track on a dusty mirror.
