Thats kinds different. What kind of paint is that?

[sims5]

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.

[FinsnFur]

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.

[sims5]

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.

[vvarmitr]

Isn't it a PITA to do the digital camo? 

[FOsteology]

Those look good MI VHNTR.

Is the Rem 700 done in Polane-T ?

[slagmaker]

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.

[sims5]

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.

[MI VHNTR]

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.

Facelift

just gave the tripple duece a facelift.  I'm sure I'll change her again come fall time.  Tan camo spray and hand brushed acrylic I use for duck dekes.

[FinsnFur]

I thought I was gonna see tan over spray on the coffee table there.
That woulda been a classic.

I like it, but I woulda filled in a little more with the stalks

[Silencer]

I can mix some togehter and make some gray fill in  

you do see the overspray on the sling  

here we go, a little more filled in
