Painting a stock

My experience.. the textured didn’t like the clear..was more like a wrinkle paint.. didn’t seem to want to bond well to fiberglass, and remained sorta too soft for a stock.. my experience..
the stone again my experience..
First rifle stock I did..when initially applied I didn’t think it was ever going to cure hard enough to work.. while still softish, I coated it with krylon triple thick glaze.. I don’t know what that did but holy shit it became insanely hard and durable.. it was like the clear soaked in and acted as a catalyst.. after years of running it that way, I later wire brushed it and coated with a matte clear.. the stone paint absorbed the triple thick enough that it didn’t have a gloss finish but it did have a little sheen in certain light. I’ve since recoated the first rifle I did with a different system but did do an xp100 with the stone paint a couple years ago..I did it the same way with the triple thick but never hit it with the matte.. I’ll post a pic of it later today.
Found a pic that I posted on the hide of the two as a pair. this was pre matte on the rifle. IMG_3918.jpeg
 
I found a picture of my sponge camo over stone paint.
Factory tupperware Savage stock that I modified. I chopped a few inches up front, raised the comb with a piece of wood and Bondo, as well as created a vertical grip and palmswell with more Bondo a latex glove.
When I bought th gun used, it had grey stone paint, fairly grippy, but I added the sponge camo with Rustoleum paints
