I got the idea yesterday late afternoon I wanted to paint the otherwise boring factory stock on my Tikka T1X.

Decided on the sponge paint method and was going for a Manners inspired look.
Came across this older thread for guidance.

1. Prep was simple, wiped it down with alcohol on a microfiber.
2. Made a puddle of paint on cardboard, pressed sponge into the paint to absorb the paint, press sponge against the stock.
3. Gave it several coats of clear.

Here’s what I used.

That in reference to the paint or the tires?

I'm not sure about the Rustoleum as I haven't had it on but a few hours.
It'll be easy and cheap to repaint when it comes time.

Very nicely done. I'll likely be doing something similar to mine later this summer.

Looks good. I like the Rustoleum camo a whole lot and have used it now as the basis for three stock projects.
