Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Custom Painting of your stock: revision 5

This service was originally offered simply as a way to dress up a plain black plastic synthetic. In the interim I've painted some very expensive stocks. Some involved quite a bit of work.

New guidelines: due to the increase in shipping cost and paint supplies - for a plain plastic stock I charge $60 which includes return shipping. This is for the lower 48.

If the stock is a Bell and Carlson, H&S, or other higher priced stocks the charge will be adjusted to reflect the increased insurance cost. Typically $3.85 covers up to $300 in insurance. $6.75 covers up to $500.
I'd you want the old finish completely removed the base fee is $30. That covers most of the jobs I see. If it’s a finish that has gone sticky: $60 and there are no guarantees. That’s how bad they are. They are a nightmare.
If it's a target stock with moving and or removable parts add $10

Please pull sling studs and recoil pads if possible. I've seen a few recoil pads glued on the fibreglass stocks.

I use a good chip resistant paint that has a seven day full cure time.
Chip resistant..... Not chip proof.
I use clear coat also. Clear coat choices are: flat; matte; satin; gloss.

Single order: $60
Multiple orders:
Two stocks $105
Three stocks $150

Up to two spider web colors: no extra charge.
Speckle / spatter paint add $5
Texture finish: add $5
Foam sound deadening in the buttstock:$5
All prices include return shipping and basic insurance.

If anyone wants to share some feedback, good or bad, on their stocks please post it here. Feel free to share pictures. I've had good feedback from folks here and I appreciate that very much.
I've only had one failure of the paint. It was on a Hogue camo dipped stock. It would hold paint at all. I fully refunded the members money.
I painted a plain black Hogue stock for a member and haven't ever heard back.
I’ll be posting various pictures over time.

Can you do woodland camo? Send me an email 81stfacpgmail.com

Sorry, but woodland Camo is a dipped process. This is as close as I can get.
