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

Heavy spray isn't always your friend.
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...
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!!!
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.
