DIY Rifle Paint Job?

[AK Troutbum]

You guys are inspiring me to grab an unfired Savage 111 in 30-06 with black syn stock I inherited & see what I can do! Nothing to loose

Hell yeah brother, time to get your camo on. Why not?

I do custom duracoat finishes. Here are a few.

Resurrecting this old thread to share my recent project. Basically, I got a tikka t3 lite in stainless for weather protection, and because I couldn't endure wrecking walnut and blueing out in the mountains. That being said, I really don't like black stocks. Don't know why. So, I decided to paint the stock. I knew I wanted it to be green dominant, but I wanted a light touch of khaki texture. No camo job, just a color with depth.

If you notice, I also painted the rings khaki.

Had a surprisingly good time with this. I enjoy the DIY side of things, even though it's surely nowhere near a professional finish.

Just Kyrlon Fusion camo line. That's several thin coats of khaki, completely covered up with many thin coats of green, and then at the end I "misted" khaki and green to give it that "speckle." Finished with many thin coats of flat clear coat.

For a stainless action and barrel the Krylon works fine. Will get rub spots as it is not super tough, but just add a quick squirt when needed.

If you want to remove, acetone will take all the paint off.

Does everyone find that the paint holds up relatively well after some seasons of wear and tear?
