If I wrote more in this post, I'd just be say'n what already been said here. I used to use Duracoat, but don;t any more. It's too messy, expensive and hard to remove if you want to get it off. Krylon Camo holds up well and can be stripped off if so desired. I think a sponge camo job is the easiest camo to do. It's hard to screw it up. If the stock is already black, no base coat. I use satin clear, but not really necessary, I may stop using it. RJ

I like a lighter color for the base and darker colors for the shadows. Of course, it depends on what you are going for but this type of camo pattern blends in well around here.

A bit of shine from even a matte clear can be knocked down using a Mr Clean Magic Eraser.
Just buff it (says Kavanagh).

How long do you like to wait before coating? Is 24 hours long enough to let paint dry/gas off?

MtnBoomer those "flectones"look great! How did you get the even speckles? Flicked on with a brush or something?
I let everything dry for about 24hrs before putting on another coat, and thats in warm temps (75+) with low humidity

Something like a couple hour is plenty good. Just don't try to put a bunch of layers on immediately following each other, especially if cooler. Most products have a range of time that's ideal, not just the minimum, because the stuff adheres better to each other when not fully cured. MtnBoomer those "flectones"look great!

Thanks. Wood stocks that needed lots of prep. Spray guns and air brushes. HiVis and Dexter were flicked.

I use Brownells Matte Clear Aluma-Hyde II epoxy as an overcoat. Tough as nails.
I’ve used other clear coats and they’re no where near as durable. I’ve gone without any overcoat and the stuff chips with a stern look.
My experience is one can go without an overcoat if they don’t mind repainting or having numerous chips.

Sponge painted and clearcoated Hook - which coat did you use? I've read that Krylon sometimes never dries. Duracoat is out (not dropping $50 on a spray can). The simple, $5 Rustoleum clear matte seems like a winner? The stinky smelling " Painters Touch". Stuff gives me a migraine. I spray outside and hang in garage to dry. Even the ol lady says its horrible

If you screw it up Acetone and a bunch of paper towels will remove the paint/ clear from a plastic stock. Remington and TC Contender stocks unaffected
