I had several boring black stocks and thought I would get out some sponges and Krylon camo paints and give it a shot. It was easier than I thought. Top is a Manners. Bottom two are McMillan Edge. ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r61/sbark1/54AD4EC7-305F-4757-A27A-77C4D41E9AED.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r61/sbark1/1838D3F9-9FDD-4986-AED4-AD1E6B816398.jpg)

+1 - Nice work there 257. Those turned out nice - really like the one with the red recoil pad, slick!!

Daaaang. Any details you can share on your process? ^^^ THIS ^^^ Been thinking about doing the same to a couple of McM's that I have. A faux Manners Midnight Camo would be at the top of my list. What type of sponge did you use?
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

What type of sponge did you use? I just ordered a bag of sponges off of Amazon - You get 6 or 7 small ones in a bag and free shipping. These: Painting Sponges - Link Here Rubbed the stocks down with a rag and some acetone. Taped off the pads. And used camo forest green and khaki flat paints. I just bought spray paint and sprayed it on my cardboard "drop cloth", dipped the sponges, and blotted the paint on. Way too easy. What's really cool is I just noticed that the khaki sponge looks like a Zombie profile....so I'm now ready to kill some zombies!!

That middle rifle is the last rifle I own that Mickey Coleman built for me. I borrowed a 25-204 reamer and sent it to him with the barrel and action. He had it back to me in about 30 days perfect as can be. Kampfeld did some bolt work on it. Fun rifle and now it's pretty!

What type of sponge did you use? It's been a couple of hours now since 257H posted this - I'm surprised I haven't gotten a text from you already showing three or four newly painted stocks.

Those look great. Did you do one color and let dry before applying the other color. Are you going to clear coat over everything. Thanks for any more information.

I was going to clear coat, but now maybe not. Seems tough enough and will get tougher when it cures. I did the olive drab first and waited maybe 15 minutes. It was mostly dry when I did the khaki.
