I haven't painted a stock yet but have been working out how to do so properly. Based on the research I've done here and elsewhere, it seems that for webbing you use a special webbing/marbelizing spray paint. Krylon theoretically makes one, which is what folks seem to recommend. However, I've had difficulty finding it available anywhere. I've found a similar product from Rustoleum that you can actually buy, so I plan to try that.

Ah, cool. If you find something that works post back here, I'd be interested to see it.

Actually playing with a few methods and ideas on a spare stock today. I wanted to compare spray vs sponge method for applying over a net bag or stencil. On the other side I am trying inverse color layers.

This was sponge applied over bag and stencil.


This was spray over bag and stencil.

I've used duracoat with some success. Below is the SFAR i did. Some use cerakote, or even plain spray paint as well to paint stocks/rifles/handguns. I've found duracoat to be pretty durable on long guns...with pistols the edges will wear going in and out holsters many times.

You can also purchase stencils, or just DIY it like i did with the SFAR.

The webbing on HS stocks is kinda weak. You can get some krylon and put it in the fridge to 'thicken' it up. Just practice a little......

Is that marbelizing paint you sprayed cold, or just normal paint sprayed cold?

krylon marbelizing/webbing spray

I had been spray testing from the Japanese maple in the yard. It ah, looks to much like pot leafs for my taste.

I used a pack of thin plastic reusable digicam stencils that I bought off amazon on this Bergara HMR stock.
