Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Total fail IMO 2nd spray paint job on 835 stock

Started out basic matte black krylon fusion after acetone and 4ot steel wool strip and a 180 sanding.

Made internal wrap with smaller zip ties this time and got a roll for external wrap.

Internal wrap tight as fugg from lesson,s learned from rd 1.
Heavy coat thread is your friend doing the tight wrap.

Outside roll wrap tight as fugg with coat thread binding.

You might have a future in crochet.

Began to suspect I was fugged with this playdough color appearance green overspray versus the cap color.
Thought it might dry darker tone .

Thanks Jim....
I will look into that endeavor...


Fugging jackwagon ....

LOL!!!!

Now I need ta take a couple of pics out in the sun of this abortion..
Give me a few....

Looks like deep forest green, has more blue than yellow.
Kills me that each brand can have their version

If that's the finished product it do look pretty grippy.

Almost nothing likes to stick to these new HDPE stocks.

If they are not HDPE somebody will correct me to exactly what type of plastic they are.

Regardless, not much really likes to stick to them over the Long Haul. Paint seems to do the best but eventually it too wears off.

I did a bunch a Remington 700 take off ADL stocks that I had no use for and was able to move along at "exit" pricing of around $75 each.



Good luck with your project.

Way to hard and stressful trying to make nice stuff. life is better with crap, no work and easy.

Rene, here's a little advice. Take it FWIW...

You are working backwards, Amigo.

1) Spray the base color you want on the stock. Let that dry well.

2) Find something soft that will make the outline impression you want and get it wet with paint, and carefully touch the stock with it, and remove, leaving the impression with the color you want.

From what I see, the spray paint is too close, and too heavy on the texture wrapped stock. The paint gets around the texture when spraying, and won't give you the desired results.

Heavy spray isn't always your friend.

Totally pissed off on cap color versus sprayed color.
I'm thinking if I bust out my mad modeling "dry" brushing skills
and hit every 3rd or 4th cell and leave the web line I can give it a darker scattered appearance with a dark OD green today.
Did some over webbing shoots with black and brown last night.
That got my mind off the "green" overall abortion somewhat.

I was shooting for a simple green web overspray.
But this green is gumby matte green in my OCD eyes big time.


Worse comes to worse.
Acetone and 4ot it again.
180 light sand.

Then try version 3.0.......

Color fail in my eyes big time........

Heavy spray was a factor I was thinking also with the wrap.
Needed someone with experience like yourself to say it.
Why I'm seeking advice and opinons.


If I redo this thing in the next couple days.
I might just go with a simple Dark OD green.
Roll with it thru Thunder Chicken season.
Then try the webbing technique again this summer.

Learning every time I do it.
Which aint a bad thing...

Here is the Buttstock

The green is a color fail. The reddish color looks like maybe cowboy tim was trying to kiss the forearm......😆

JFC......
You mean you dont like the gumby green either????
at least let me try the dark OD green mad modeling " dry" brushing skills on some web cells 1st and see what I can salvage and what it looks like .
And get 2 or 3 coats of clear matte over it

You just totally put the bad Juju on me with that Cowboy Tim comment.
What a Jedi mind fugg!!!



That's it mister!!!!!
You are gonna win my 1st ever ignored dude award on here now!!!


Holy fugg......

LMFAO!!!!

A little green goes a long ways...

Here's a stock I painted close to 20 years ago. Took the photo just now.

For the webbing effect, I used a cedar frond and lightly sprayed over it, and it left the background black, as the original color of the stock was black.




Not my best work, but you get the idea...

Google fu
Here I come.

That looks really good.
