Painting a stock

[tacks]

Finally got around to this old Brown Precision blank when building my new 458 Socom. 3 coats of Rustoleum gray automotive primer then let it dry overnight. Then 3 coats of Krylon Mink, Krylon Marbelizing paint, and then 3 coats of Rustoleum Dead Flat. All 7 of those coats were only done about 15 minutes apart. I tried about 4 different Matte Clears and the Rustoleum Dead Flat was as close as I could find that was a true matte or flat.

What did the Mink spray do for it?

Sorry I missed it was gray primer, so the mink gave you the brown. Now where can I buy the Mabelizing Krylon? I see one place selling 6 cans, I just want one.

Just painted my tikka stock last week. I let my kids choose the colors. Pretty fun little project. I didn’t bother with clearcoat in case I want to paint over it before hunting season

Hey sorry I missed your message. I have been using the stencils from Simply Decal on ebay. They are pretty affordable and have a good variety of patterns.

Just did a Howa Mini stock that came out sweet. Used Rapco Paints which have a lot of cool colors to work with. They seem a bit more durable that Rustoleum, probably about the same a Krylon Fusion.

Did my Tikka in rapco spray paint.

After doing my AR, decided to send it with my rokslide special. This rapco paint is the best spray paint I’ve used. Lays down extremely flat and looks like cerakote once cured

Takes much longer to cure, bout 3-7 days before handling but is extremely durable. Definitely recommend for guys who want their paint job to last longer

The top stock I built with carbon fiber. Stone paint w/marbelizing and clear.

Here’s my Stockys Seconds project on a Howa Mini 6 ARC. Sanded, alcohol wipe down, tape, rust oleum camo army green, and Krylon Matte Dark Pearl, and 4 coats of rustoleum matte clear over the top.

Sprayed the paint directly onto natural sea sponge, I would recommend only doing small dabs to form the larger pattern blocks in your camo rather than just trying to do one large dab from the entire sponge to make the shapes. Would also recommend going very light on your clear coats and spraying from far away to avoid runs.

Overall pretty stoked about it, had a couple minor thickness inconsistencies in the sponge painted portions that add a bit of raised texture that I don’t necessarily mind.

Just finished this Stockys Second stock. Light sanding then 2 coats of Fusion Matte Gray with 3 days between coats.
Then sponged a Matte White Fusion over that then sponged Matte Khaki. Then sprayed with marbelizing and finished with 3 coats of clear matte…the marbelizing really tied the stock together.
This wasn’t the vision but really like how it turned out.

Some decoration from Halloween store. Cut off the netting so I could lay it across rifle.

EDIT: (went back and included pic of the netting)

At first, I thought this process was going to be more complicated or the results would look like a drunk 3rd grader's art project, but the sponge technique works great and is easy.

This is a Vertical Grip stock in straight Carbon from Stocky's that I used on a Win Model 70 .300WSM. The cheek riser I made from thicker knife sheath Kydex and secured with industrial strength Velcro; it never moves. I left the grip area unpainted, and so far, zero issues, very minimal scratches, even when pushing through lot of brush, etc.
I have my old Win 70 in .243 from when I was a teenager, and will likely do the same thing and let my son use it since the wood stock is pretty beat up.
