Great looking rifles Karnis, does it work on wood stocks too? John

Pop, their are many methods that work. I read the following in a gun mag many years ago & have utililized on both plastic, fiberglass, & wood. Use a bit of fine sandpaper to improve paint adhesion. Spray a primer of any wp color. Use wp colors to camo if desired. I then lightly spray with trunk paint. Creates an interesting finish. Spray with clear sealer ( 2 coates). I purchase @ auto supply store. I have redone a number of stocks that were worn due to bouncing in racks of atv & safari vehicles. Good luck.

On my Vanguard I used "trunk" coating spray for texture, except on the cheek piece.

Then I used Brownell's paints with a GI Joe plastic toy colored green base and some big blades of grass and some leaves for a pattern when I added rusty reds, tans, and browns.

I did all but the barrel markings area in a dark tan. It is ugly and is a deadly killer. It needs a a touch up, maybe. But I have used it now for about eight years and it has knocked around in some rough areas, on backpacks, planes, atv's, and it took a nasty drop in stride a couple of weeks ago during elk season.

Krylon is forever so make sure you want it on there. God help you if you decide to strip it off later. Unless someone knows a trick to getting rid of that s**t.

I worked on ship where it was used in the wrong place and it took wire wheels to get it off, and we had serious solvents available.

where did you get the webbing paint?
thanks,dennis

How does having webbing paint make it look like that ? Is that how it sprays it on ?

I too have been a lookin' for that webbing paint. Can't find it and nobody in the paint dept. seems to know what I'm talking about.

Webbing paint can be got thru joann.com . An artsy-craftsy place. I painted a couple, thanks to karnis' advice.


I used a rubberized clearcoat recommended by the local hardware store guy. Will see how it all holds up. Don

Did another this mornin' . 3 stocks with enuff paint left to do another, all for $20 bucks......

does that ruger wear the laminate? i painted up my savage heavy laminate similar and it really changed the look of the gun for about $10.... way happier!!
