Stock Painting #9591035 02/10/15 Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,126 Northern CA D darrenk75b OP Campfire Regular OP darrenk75b Campfire Regular D Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,126 Northern CA Thought I would post some pics here of a few stocks I painted and did some other misc work on this weekend for members here. All painting is done with Duracoat 1st, My LVSF which has found a new owner. This stock got a new recoil pad to replace the gummy factory one, and a fresh OD with black and coyote tan specks An original Ti stock in the same pattern, headed back up to Oregonmuley A B&C Mauser stock for gunner500. I extended this stock LOP 1/2" and installed a new recoil pad. Per the owner's request, I also closed off the front sling stud hole. Paint is a lighter splotch camo with OD, Coyote Tan, Dark Earth and hints of black

First up is a McMillan Hunters Edge that I textured the grip and forearm on, added flush cups, and then painted to try and match ATAC AU And lastly a Kimber Montana stock. I added flush cups and painted this on to mimic ATAC FG [img]http://img.photobucket.com/alb...0finishes/IMG_1935_zpsu648dpbd.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/alb...0finishes/IMG_1938_zpscp84yggt.jpg[/img]

It can look just fine. The camo tends to make the checkering less noticeable visually

Great work and thanks. I really like the texture the paint gives it- did you add some texturing, or is that the paint's natural feel? Good to hear you like it. That texture is mostly due to the flat paint I used- it certainly does have that slight feel to it.

Didn't know if you've ever checked that for knowledge sake Wanted to compare to my results hacking it out here. I have not actually weighed it. As far as volume is concerned, I use slightly more than 3 tablespoons of paint for a typical job. If that was water, that would equate to 1.5 ounces. The paint is slightly heavier, but I know I lose some in overspray, so I would guess the added weight is about that- 1.5 ounces

So I weighed the Ti stock you just did for me. It weighed 23.35 ozs before your paint, it now weighs 23.55 ozs so hardly any difference at all. The KS stock you did for my .280 weighs about 3/4 oz more, but that might also be due to what Master Class Stocks did to it since they added some bedding/pillars?? So it really doesn't do much at all. Last edited by Oregonmuley; 03/14/15. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

The support has been awesome, and I've had the opportunity to work on a number of great projects. I have come to the conclusion that this endeavor consumes more time than I want to give up from my family. I have 3 young sons who deserve my attention, and while I love the results of my painting, no amount of enjoyment that I get from this compares to what they provide. I am in the process of finishing the remaining stocks I have on hand, and will honor all commitments made for future projects as well, but at this time will not be taking on any new work. If you are interested in me painting a stock for you, please still feel free to contact me and ask - depending on the project and where life finds me, I may still choose to take it on.
