Alumhyde II matte clear Did you have any issues with it over krylon??? How long for the krylon to dry and cure before you hit it with the Aluma hyde II???
This sounds like a really good approach.
I haven’t had issues with it over Krylon at all it actually bonds so well that if I chip the stock at all it removes all of the layers together. I don’t remember how long exactly it is that I have to let the Krylon cure, but I follow whatever directions are on the side of the can.

I've painted a few with wrinkle paint, if that counts - I think the high temp stuff works best. I'd chuck the stock up in the lathe using a wooden dowel in the barrel channel and turn it at 28 rpm while spraying and drying to help prevent drips and sag , taping off anything I didn't want paint on, including most of the lathe. Acetone and gloves as mentioned above.
Worked pretty good.

The hardest part is finding the webbing or "marbling" spray paint from krylon, if you want that look. I suggest just ordering it online unless you enjoy rubbing elbows with masked boomies at hobby lobby or Michael's.
Other than that is just prep, spray, dry.....simple [bleep]. Even reney can do it

My favorite I've done, and one of recent, Kimber Hunter foreend shortened/remolded, painted green, then granite speck applied then clear. Man I really like that paint! Exactly what is it?

Rustoleum Hunter Green followed by Rustoleum Granite stone texture, practiced with the granite paint before spraying the stock. That's just a couple light swipes with the granite texture paint. Then a pile of clear coats.

The Rustoleum Multicolor Texture line makes for a pretty easy job, hides surface imperfections. Topped with a matte clear to smooth out the surface as desired.

Same Rustoleum Texture, just for texture, then another darker green and lots of clearcoat. Action is Duracoated. Our Troy, HH, made the coordinating sling. .

B&C Alaskan stock with Brownells Aluma-Hyde (OD Green & FDE) Perfect. Looking at landscapes and foliage, that's the ticket, open with vertical elements. Well done!

Can you tell us more about the granite speck? Does it add texture? Yes it does, makes it feel a little gritty. Helps with grip IMO. May wear after time though, we’ll see.
