Roger,
This is a job you can do.
Krylon Fusion for plastic.
Stone paint, both available from Wally World.
Spider web paint from Mister Art, or Blick art.
Experiment on an old 2x4.
I can send you pictures of stocks that I've done.
Fitting a pad. If you've got a belt sander, then go to Midway and buy the jig for it. Again it's easy.

I've had Charley Santoni go over several of my rifles, of which the cheapest was around $4000. His work is excellent and timely. http://riflestockpainting.com/index.html

John I also like the stone paint and am impressed with how durable it is, especially if you go over it with a couple coats of matte clear. I hunted my 30-06 this year and pushed through a bunch of brush with it and it didn't even suffer a scratch...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Doesn't Rick Bin do stock painting any more?

Don't be afraid to try it. I tried this weekend. 1st time� ![[Linked Image]](http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss95/dnabw/DSC00207.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i565.photobucket.com/albums/ss95/dnabw/DSC00208.jpg) That 1st pic has some crud on the buttpad, just dirt. I'm pretty happy with the results, and it can only get better.

Eddie did an Edge for me a few months back and it turned out very well.
Karnis did a couple of mine as well and they are really nice as well. Not sure if he's still doing them, but I'd shoot him a PM and see.
