HandgunHntr,

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping I didn’t need to special order more paint.

Like Dexter? LOL

I like the Krylon better than the Rustoleum if that helps.

Something like that.

I looked around and saw some paint called “Web Effect” that looked more like it.

Sweet little gun. Bolt is like greased glass.

Splatter/Web like this

Sweet! That things a cannon!

I started with krylon and have done them with Duracoat for the past several years. Prep is the key! Make sure it is thoroughly degreased as paint won't stick to finger prints or face oils. I moved to Duracoat as I can put it on with a spraygun or airbrush allowing for more detail than a spray can. I can also mix colors to get something lighter or darker. Each has pros and cons. Duracoat can be handled in a couple hours but is like concrete and doesn't reach full hardness for a couple weeks. I've never used the top/ clear coat with anything I've done and never had an issue. I've done a bunch for members here, search my screen name and some pic galleries should come up, if you see something drop me a PM.

Good luck whichever way you go, and if you don't like it brake cleaner will take it off or the easier way is a sandblaster if you have access to one.

Webs and stuff.

I ordered some GAP pattern stencils from https://bransoncerakote.com/ and plan to Krylon or Aluma Hyde the stock on a Vanguard .308 after deer season.

Have purchased a few things from them yet hadn't seen their GAP stencils. Out of curiosity I took a look at their offering. Very cool way to achieve the pattern. (It's NOT the easy blobs on a background type.) They use the best high heat vinyl too. Thanks for sharing.

Where are you finding the different color spatter paint, all I've ever found was the black and gold krylon marble. I ran across the silver online once but wasnt gonna pay 20 bucks a can. The black and gold can usually be found for 7 bucks.

A few of mine - some different pattern attempts etc..

Darryl,
What color is the green webbing you used? Is it the Montana Can Marble Effect green?

That stuff from brownells has been the most durable for me

Anyone have pictures of webbing on a Kimber Montana stock?

Answered my own question.

kimber stocks

Sorry just reading this, but I will second the brownells can stuff. Did a fde on an old a-bolt. Also, lauer stuff is really good if not better than the brownell stuff. A bit pricey though. I got it locally at midway USA.
