Get all the metal graphite black cerracoated.

Or just VHD caliper paint the stock set satin black and cook it at 200° for 60 mins and get the metal done graphite black.

Or VHD the metal minus the mag tube and pump/ action bars.
Have ta make a cardboard and alum foil cooking oven for the metal parts.
Rig up a electric space heater for heat and get a inexpensive temp gauge.

Wont fit in the oven like the stock set.

Tip....

When cooking gun parts with VHD caliper paint in the ole lady's oven.
Always cook a pizza in it afterwards to hide any slight residue of smell before she gets home from work.

LOL!!!

Changed my mind numerous times on what to do.

Well after 47( lol) tries at spray painting the stock and getting the receiver and barrel graphite black cerracoated.

I came up with the whack a mole toothbrush camo technique.
Posted up buncha pics on the gen forum from it all.

Lots of trial and error spray painting a syn stock for my 1st 3 attempts.

Before :

After:

Overcast .
It shifts colors and tones and high lights in different light conditions.
Pretty happy with the Toothbrush whack a mole camo technique.

Probably how I will do it again if needed.
This season will be a test run on just how durable it is.

Why did you change it? I like what you did. But, it actually looked pretty good before.

In the brush and sun .
That old camo stock was really super pale in some light conditions.

Think it might cost me 2 birds last year that didnt commit.
JMO.

Plus the receiver had ring marks all over it from the guy slumlord bought it from years ago.
Had some rusty areas on the barrel
Some worn areas on the rib.
Ect ect ect.


Just basically wanted to give it a make over/ fresh look of my own.
And have never done the rattle can spray paint thing before.

Probably stick to the whack a mole tooth brush camo technique when I have to redo it again.
Just came to me outta the blue looking at vids and pics of various techniques.

Base was olive green.
Then whack a mole colors
Satin brown ( not alot)
Flat black
Od green ( not alot)
And od green satin brown mix.( little bit)

With 4 or 5 shots of matte clear over it.


Easy to do
Looks good to my eye.

Way better than my webbing attempts and 60,s flower pots salvage efforts.

LOL!!!
