I think I'm ready to take the leap and give my A-Bolt .204 a custom paint job. Any tips on preparing the wood stock and the mat finish barrel for a coat of paint.
I have some Rustoleum spray paint that is actual "Camo" paint. Will this work?
I have some ideas for a paint scheme but I'd love to get some other ideas.... Anybody?????
Thanks, bootmud
This WUZ my stainless MII 22-250 that I camoe'd a while back. the stock was the synthetic black.
I took the gun completely apart, and prayed it all down with brake cleaner an let it dry.
Then put it all back together.
Gave it a good base coat, which in this case was a drab flat tan.
Then, I made my own stencils and started working my way around the rifle with 3 different shades of the flat camo paint.
It turned out great, had no chipping or peeling for ...I'm thinking two years.. :shrug: before I took the stock off and replaced it with a Boyd's thumbhole

Will paint stick to the synthetic stocks or is there something you need to do to make it stick?
I always prime first.

Started using that on the duck guns last year, by the end of the season they needed a touch up but overall the paint wasnt bad at all. My sons was worse off than mine but he's also tougher on equiptment.
The top 2 870's were painted up with the Rustoleum Camo, I about crapped my britches when I seen that at our local hardware store.

not to flaunt my paint dumbness...but i will........does the primer just stick on synthetic stocks, i ike those paint jobs n might think about one on my new marlin xl70 which is black synthetic stock-ed.
nastygunz-- As I understand those stocks they need to be scracthed up good with some 120grit then wiped down with mineral spirits. Then a good quality primer is required. On top of the primer you can use anything you want. But things need to be roughed for the primer to grab on & cleaned very good. Lay the primer on in thin coats too.
BTW-- I have never painted one before but on the websites I visit I've seen a bunch & this seems to be the popular way of doing them. HTH
boot , I don't think you need to sand anything ,, I never have , clean it spray it , this way it will come right off when you get tiered of it ... I have painted couple and took it right off with a can a graffiti remover,,
like new again

THAT PAINT YOU HAVE IS WHAT I USE !! DONT SAND ANYTHING :doh2]
I never sanded mine. Like i said I doused it with brake cleaner which completely degreased everything and left the stock sorta etched.... had a white look to it.
After that I base coated it with my drab tan.
The only paint I had come off, was on the recoil pad, since it was rubber.

This isn't the supernova, its a pump action. i love it, after buying the carlsons dead coyote choke for it; it holds excellent patterns at 50yds. doesn't weigh too much either.
my old lady doesn't mind seeing as i work for a matress company, i get em for free.

Bushy: If you get free mattresses why are you sleeping on the davenport? :confused: :laf:
BTW I like the paint job on your shotgun. How did you do that?
I used krylon ultra-flat (olive, brown, and kacky) I Made branch and leaf stencils with construction paper; layered the patterns; then faded the parts that seemed too bright. It took about an hour and i'm proud of it. Never had the balls to try it before. But after seeing all of the jobs done by other FNFers, i figured "what the heck". Thanx for the feed back
PS thats just a pillow top that i put in the bak of my jeep :eyebrow:
Well, admittedly these paint jobs weren't done by me.... nor in my home.... but home painted none the less! :laf:
Nice stuff Fo~
I wondered what took ya so long to post :laf: :wink:
Hi guys I crawled out of my cave today :biggrin:
Heres one I did I cleaned this with brake cleaner like Jim did its a kevlar stock never had it any paint come off yet.
Im currently workin on a something new :eyebrow: witch Im going to use duracoat ( http://www.houtsenterprises.net/ ) this paint is a little more permanent as it requires a hardener and an airbrush or autobody spray gun.

So, it is safe to spray brake cleaner on your synthetic stocks??
I did, and then I let it air dry before painting it.
I dont know if all manufacturers use the same plastics, but no, it didnt bother this one.
Thanks, I am going to try a small spot on my Winchester before going crazy.
Brake clean should work fine. Do not use carb clean it's much more harsh and can eat up the plastic.

This is a Model 710 I painted there stocks are textured I sanded all of that off and cleaned it with acetone then painted it with a Rustoleume textured paint. It turned out all right there is one place that has chipped on the bottom of the forearm where it always rest on my shooting sticks guess I should have primered it first but I really like the texture.
Sorry guys I've tried this photo thing like 10 times and can't get it to work I followed the steps from the forum and went through photobucket and just can't get it ot work. I thought these thing were suppose to be easy like point and click and cut and paste?

Thats kinds different. What kind of paint is that?
It is a stone texture paint from Wal-mart. I sprayed it first with gray fusion for plastic, flat black, then the entire stock with the grey texture paint, then flat black over about 95% of it and then shot it with the grey texture with a very light cover from a distance as to let the black still show thru. Then about 4 coats of flat clear over all of it. Very happy with how it turned out.
Yeah, that'd be cool to try with some other colors too.
I painted the stock and did all of the metal work, including the DuraCoat on my Remington 700 build. I also did my AR.

MI VHNTR, what paint did you use on the Rem 700? It looks a lot like my Savage. You did a very nice job on both of your rifles.
Isn't it a PITA to do the digital camo? :shrug:
Those look good MI VHNTR.
Is the Rem 700 done in Polane-T ?
Sims it looks like that textured paint job would help you keep ahold of your firearm as well. Is it really as rough is it looks?
that digital works real well as a camo pattern but it gives me a headache to look at it.
I really like the texture. It makes the stock plastic feel more "solid". On that note I have a hard time leaving things alone. Decided to change the paint again since I added a choate cheek piece to the stock and decided it just had to be painted to match, so I repainted the entire stock. Here are a few pictures for ya.

Thanks for the kind words.
I painted the High Tech Specialties stock with automotive primer, followed by Rustoleum Textured paint and then a matte clear. The DuraCoat is Vltor Black.
I used stencils for the digital camo. It is time consuming because of the different stencils and colors, but it's really not that hard to do. I bought the stencils from here.

I thought I was gonna see tan over spray on the coffee table there. :laugh2:
That woulda been a classic.
I like it, but I woulda filled in a little more with the stalks
I can mix some togehter and make some gray fill in :eyebrow:
you do see the overspray on the sling :nono:
here we go, a little more filled in
