Looks great IMHO.

It looks good. I don't think I'd redo it.
One trick that I've done when going a little wild with the silver webbing is to go over the silver webbing with a little black webbing, kind of cancelling out some of the overzealous silver. Not sure how it would look on your lighter base color though.

Ok, what's the secret? How do you paint it like that? Krylon makes web spray paint, there are probably other brands too. http://www.krylon.com/products/webbing-spray/Mark, looks great to me, you got me thinking I should have gone with web paint on my Ruger American stock I just finished. I tried to make it look like NatGear camo.

K1500, you're right, you have to spray the base color of your choice then over spray with the web paint. I think someone posted a how to on it....maybe huntsman22 I know he has posted pics of stocks he has done.

Paradiddle, my apologies. Perhaps I was remiss in my response to Steelhead.
I hugely enjoy Boxer/Larry/Big Stick/Busheler. He takes wonderful pix, has a keen intellect, a wicked sense of humor and timing and a killer instinct. If it weren't for Boxer, I would not have posted half the pix I have over the last 18 months. In fact, he posts regularly at ARAIG. If I were missing him all that much, I could always give him a wake-up call there.
It seems to me that Steelhead wakes up every morning and believes someone has pissed in his Cheerios.
I think you'd have to look long and hard to find a thread where I initiated a negative comment about someones choice in regards to how, what or when they do what they do other than Steelhead and Savage99 for that matter. In regards to those two individuals, my response is usually to lampoon a blanket statement or negative comment. Perhaps it is the perception borne out over the last 18 months or so in various posts and forums in regards to Steelhead that engendered my response to him earlier in this thread. If you'd care to discuss further I am open to a PM.
Best,
GWB

Looks fine to me. I did about the same on my one and only effort but instead of silver I used black over an army/olive green. Surprising how well adding webbing increases the camo effect. Better not lay that thing down in he grass.

Can't wait for more ATV kills.
SH, This will have to hold you for now. It might be a couple weeks before I go again........ almost forgot to mention, Acutally, I typically shoot them with a rifle or pistol. In this case, about 5 minutes apart. Just so happens the very same rattle-can Rem 700 KS in 300 H&H pictured above. 175 yds. +/-, 180 gr. Barnes TSX. Red dropped at the shot. Brownie I hit a little high and had to track about 150 yds. and one that was snared........ Don't usually kill them with an ATV. Mainly use those for transporting. I know you wouldn't want to remain ignorant on that subject. Just Sayin' GWB

This one is a faux Ti
30-06
File and sand to blend edges and radius all edges to better hold paint
Sharp edges will chip
Base coat of tan Krylon Fusion 2 or 3
Dry to a tacky feel then 1 good covering of Make it stone paint
Dry toa tack again the spray with web
Let this dry for a week Then a light coat of clear to glue it all down

Agreed! Here's T3 hunter in 260 I did recently. Sanded off all the Euro-look lines and rattled out my own camo design. It shoots.

Some good looking stuff here, I'm gonna give it a try. Assuming you keep the webbing out of the barrel channel? Probably spray one coat of the base color in there to make it match, then try not to build it too much so it doesn't start getting tight.

what's that ugly thing doing in a webbing thread?.....
just kidding. I love it. Haha. I am not sure I love it, but it is functional and some sandpaper and paint away from being different. It came with wood which I took off. I had an original plastic stock off my T3 lite (now wearing B&C Medalist), so I experimented. My wife is artsy-fartsy and she said it was cool. Ingwe is only fartsy, but he commented favorably as well! I like the webbing look and have it on several rifles. Wanted something different on this one. It's different!

Do you sand off the checkering before painting? I've got a factory Hawkeye stock that's a bit rough looking, but not sure how the paint and webbing would look applied over the checkering. Can't quite see in the pics how you guys handled that.

I've done them 2 ways. Paint and web over the checkering. Masked off the checkering...

Earlier this eyar I bought a Savage 110 in .243 from a fellow fire member. Stock was done in exactly the same paint and color. I kind of dig it and though it is the cheapo factory stock it grouped well. I added pillars and will finish bedding in the week or so, but will likely keep the stock the same or do something like this or this

Guys, I like a lot of these paint jobs very much. I have a good rifle whose stock would lose to a fence post in a good-looking contest. Would someone give ne a step-by-step how-to or the link to it if already posted? The "search" function here can't even find itself at least with me driving it. It'd be much appreciated. And thanks.

There's some variance, can to can on the webbing paint & it's somewhat difficult to keep the application technique constant from day to day as well.

Maybe it is much more simple than I think; however, can somebody provide a step-by-step process for doing these nice webbing paint jobs I see. I would hate to screw up a good stock with my vast amount of ineptitude.

I always file and sand a Ti stock to make it feel right for me The wrist needs thinned and every single sharp corner will get a heavy radius......for feel and to hold paint......sharp corners chip paint Usualy the bolt handle slot needs cleard because it is eather out of center or not deep enough to allow a full bolt closure......lots of file work here All the action bedding/trigger gaurd bedding and barrel floating are then done before paint I sand off all the factory paint down to the gel coat then start the layering process. If I drank in between each step I would never finish one up

Blow the stock off with compressed air then put on some ruber gloves and wipe it all down with thinner Mask off with blue tape 2 or 3 base coats of Black Fusion.......dry to a tack Stone texture lightly 2 or 3 color coats......light moss green in this case.......again dry to a tack over coat with a light coat of stone then webb.......24 hours dry min The next day rub the stock down vigorously wearing latex gloves to break off the stray webbing Matt clear a couple coats and away you go

3 different levels of webbing. MM The top one definitely has the perfect amount of webbing and looks much better than the other 2 below it.

A few years back I found that a local craft store carried the webbing spray. Their selection of webbing sprays were limited, but they had the black webbing that I wanted.

Jury is still out on that.
Mine have held up good...but I haven't really put them through the abuse I used to...
A couple are on rifles that get used more than a normal guys rifle, and they are still OK

The Krylon Fusion, webbing, and a few coats of the matte clear have held up pretty well for me.
I've also been experimenting with a clear marine epoxy with a bit of grit in it for the clear coat to make it more grippy. That finish seems tougher.

Anybody have problems when spraying the clearcoat? I tried the krylon clear/matte sprayed over krylon camo and it melted the damn paint. Luckily I did a test spray before hitting the whole gun.

Actually I just did a very light, quick spray and the paint separated. I'm wondering if it was just the clear I used. Also, how long should you wait to hit it with the clear? Maybe I did it too soon after painting. Waited about an hour or so.
