Painted my T3X

[WhiteA87]

Decided to paint my new T3X 300 WSM. I really want to drop it in a Greyboe but this should hold me over for a little while.

Mind sharing the details of materials/process?

The stock was already the roughtech tan and black. I just used matte black spray paint and tan camo spray paint with a sea sponge. Simple and easy. I just have to run to the store and pick up a can of matte clear to finish it off.
I did wipe it down with a little acetone before painting.

Thanks! The sponge part is what i didn't understand.
Great job.

The stock was already the tan roughtech. The two paints are rustoleum camo khaki and black.

Color me impressed. Looks better than the Grayboe factory 'desert sage.' I've never had any luck with matte clear coat sticking onto a spray paint job.

Thanks. Its my first time painting a plastic stock. So it still a trial and error for me. I'm the type that if it get a little wear and tear marks, it looks even better. Just another tool for the job.

Looks awesome! I would love to find a CTR cheek comb to put on mine.

This was a varmint stock I picked up in the classifieds here. Super roomy barrel channel, factory included cheek piece and wide foregrip, standard mags and bottom plastic. Pretty much the same thing I do when I start with a regular stock.

They both look great. I am still hesitant to do it, as I have ZERO artistic skills.

Practice makes perfect!

I was a little daunted too but it's so easy to sponge paint. My only real takeaway is less is more as far as how busy is the pattern. A little more sparse looks good. Do just a few prints in each color and cover the whole stock then stop and look at it. Add a few more and repeat till you like it. Best part is if you trash the stock they're like 60$ on here if you watch the classifieds a bit.

Very nice.
Definitely motivated to try something similar now
