Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Stock Painting: Revision 4

Revising my stock painting post. After doing this for five years I need to offer more information.
This service was originally offered simply as a way to dress up a plain black plastic synthetic. In the interim I've painted some very expensive stocks. Some involved quite a bit of work.

New guidelines: for a plain plastic stock I charge $55 which includes return shipping. This is for the lower 48.

If the stock is a Bell and Carlson, H&S, or other higher priced stocks the charge will be adjusted to reflect the increased insurance cost. Typically $3.85 covers up to $300 in insurance.
I'd you want the old finish completely removed the base fee is $20 That covers most of the jobs I see. If it's a target stock with moving and or removable parts add $10

Please pull sling studs and recoil pads if possible. I've seen a few recoil pads glued on.

I use a good chip resistant paint that has a seven day full cure time.
Chip resistant..... Not chip proof.
I use clear coat also.

Single order: $55
Multiple orders:
Two stocks $100
Three stocks $145

All prices include return shipping.

If anyone wants to share some feedback, good or bad, on their stocks please post it here. Feel free to share pictures. I've had good feedback from folks here and I appreciate that very much.
I've only had one failure of the paint. It was on a Hogue camo dipped stock. It would hold paint at all. I fully refunded the members money.
I painted a plain black Hogue stock for a member and haven't ever heard back.

I'll start with my top two selling colors

Dark OD green with silver web,

Is it possible to just mask off a glued on pad? That’s what I do but of course it’s just for me....

Sure can. That’s exactly what I do for glued on pads, or fixed metal parts, etc. blue tape is our friend...

You are an artist, Sir.

Thought I would share these pictures of work John just did on our daughter's Beretta 20 ga. shotgun. Very nice work and quick turnaround time. If you are thinking about having a stock painted I would encourage you to contact him for details. Thanks, John!

Free Bump for a great guy!

Thanks Landyboy!!!

Another shade of green....

John .. great job, can you do red webbing ??

Sorry, no red webbing available. No enough demand to warrant keeping it in inventory.
Black outsells all the others 10-1 combined.....
I'm probably not going to offer the gold/bronze much longer. Same reason.
Three stocks in five years with gold webbing is pretty small.
