Painting carbon fiber stock

[Badseed]

Can you tell me what paint and what technique you used on this stock? I really like the way it turned out!

Sorry for the delayed response. I used basic rustoleum or krylon spray paint and some cut up sea sponges. I can look for the exact colors tomorrow. I spray the paint into a puddle on a paper plate and dap the sponge in the puddle then dab it on stock in the whatever pattern you want.

Finding a pattern you like is the hardest part so scour the internet and look for diy camo paint job to find something to try and mimic. Once the paint dries, I apply a few coats of matte clear to eliminate the shine. Give it at least a day or so to fully cure then reassemble the rifle and go shooting!

I tried to sponge paint a Stocky’s stock this weekend. I felt really good about the paint, but when I applied the matte clearcoat today certain parts are very foggy. I cannot even see the carbon anymore in these spots.

Is this normal, or did I apply too thick in these areas?

Next, can it be removed via sanding and reapplied to see the carbon?

Thats odd. Did you thoroughly shake the clear paint can? I haven’t experienced that fogginess on any of my paint jobs. Did you use house paint or spray paint t for the camo color, it looks like a heavy texture as if it has a high solids content.
