Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Rifle coating/painting pics

Anyone here (apparently RickBin does) paint/coat rifles in custom camo or in any other finish? Lets see some pictures of your handiwork!

Search the threads for Fosnaugh Customs. He did some work for me and he is excellent to work with. He has posted Pics. of some of the stuff he has done.

Satoni Rifle Stocks

This guy does good work and turned one around for me in three weeks.

I am ramping up at this time.. Cerakote

Here is one I just did, leaving to go hunting Sat, but will be doing some more work to the stock when I get back. I really enjoy doing this kind of work.


Forgot to mention, that is the factory wood stock, cerakoted....

Holy Crap!

I was checkin' out some of that guys work and saw the thumbnail of a left handed tikka that looked familiar...I OWN THIS RIFLE!!! Bought it this year from a guy leaving AK. Good to know who did this work!

How cool to find a professional photo of a rifle you own!

Sorry, guys, I cant get that picture to post below the first one...(MAN THIS SUCKS COMPARED TO vBulletin!!)

Edit: Fixed it...kinda


Brasshound, how are you going about getting the cerakote? Do you know if its considered hazmat? The shipping costs of duracoat to AK are insane because its hazmat and cant be shipped in the regular mail.

Great looking rifle, BTW!

Here are some pics of my work

Very nice, eddie!

What product are you using for your paint? Not to try and steal any 'trade-secrets', but do you mind sharing how you are laying down the webbing?

Stevens .223 and a Marlin Guide Gun .45-70 stock


McMillan .308 stock and Savage .243




Marbled 10/22 folder




MPI Custom .375 refinish

Brass and others, what are you guys using for your oven? Dont think I would fit a barreled action in my wifes oven...

Plain ol' Wal-Mart OD spray paint on a $50 Spanish Mauser 7x57 MOA shooter.

Jr, granted its a pic, but kinda small...

Looks good. Did you clear it with anything?

Here's a Para I just did:

Couldn't decide on what to paint but I think the finish product is a good blend of contrast

where'd you get the stock for the Marlin GG hunt ak?

It was a regular walnut stock that I painted...

Anyone have any info on an oven they are using for the cerakote?

cool, tks for the 411, I'm gonna put bedliner on one of mine this year.

broke the stock on one of my GG's too much moisture, too much knocking around with it

I had this McMillan of old Hydro-Dipped.

Its a film, so its not as durable as something eddie or McMillan would put on. It does have a laquered finish.

Let us know how the GG stock turns out for ya...

HawkI, you could always have Eddie or someone put a durable clear-coat on for ya...just an option...

Maybe this picture will show up it is an old savage 111 that had been spray bombed I picked it up at the pawn shop. My buddy has an electo-plating business we took it to his shop stripped the finish and hard chrome plated the barrel and action. I have a weatherby that we are going to plate with cadmium its suppose to look kind of copper/tan we are going drop it in a sand/black web stock

JC, not the shine I expected before I pulled up the picture. I was always under the impression that hard-chromed surfaces were shiny and mirror-like. Looks like a bead-blasted finish in the picture. The cadmium project sounds sweet! Keep us updated...
