Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Custom Painting of Your Gunstock 10th Anniversary

This service was originally offered 10 years ago simply as a way to dress up a plain black plastic synthetic. In the interim I've painted some very expensive stocks. Some involved quite a bit of work.

Base charge is $65 which includes return shipping. This is for the lower 48 using UPS, or USPS when they drop the surcharge. Add $35 extra for Alaska and Hawaii. They will be shipped USPS.

If the stock is a Bell and Carlson, H&S, or other higher priced stocks the charge will be adjusted to reflect the increased insurance cost. Typically $3.85 covers up to $300 in insurance. $6.75 covers up to $500.
I'd you want the old finish completely removed the base fee is $30. That covers most of the jobs I see. If it’s a finish that has gone sticky: $50 and there are no guarantees. That’s how bad they are. Whatever has made them go sticky often affects even the gel coat on fiberglass stocks.
They are a nightmare.
If it's a target stock with moving and or removable parts add $10

Please pull sling studs and recoil pads if possible. I've seen a few recoil pads glued on the fibreglass stocks. I’ll tape those off.

I use an automotive plastic adhesion enhancer along with good chip resistant paint that has a seven day full cure time.
Chip resistant..... Not chip proof. American, German and Spanish suppliers.

I use clear coat also. Clear coat choices are: flat; matte; satin; gloss.

Single order: $65
Multiple orders:
Two stocks $115
Three stocks $160

Up to two spider web colors: no extra charge.
Speckle / spatter paint add $5

Spider web colors available are: black, white, silver, gold, red, blue, pastel green/teal, yellow, copper and grey.
All prices include return shipping and basic insurance.

If anyone wants to share some feedback, good or bad, on their stocks please post it here. Feel free to share pictures. I've had good feedback from folks here and I appreciate that very much.
I've only had one failure of the paint. It was on a Hogue camo dipped stock. It would hold paint at all. I fully refunded the members money.
I painted a plain black Hogue stock for a member and haven't ever heard back as to how it’s held up.

John,
My stock hasn't seen alot of use but I have absolutely zero concerns about it holding up and looking good for many years to come.

Thanks, Dinny

Before and after pictures:

John boy, I think we talked before but not positive, do you have the ability to get rid of the ‘slippery’ feeling of a factory Tikka stock?

Speckle or splatter paint or such?

I can finally get rid of the slippery Tikka finish.... Spider web, sister, sponge....

PM sent.

I am interested in having a fee done along with a buddy of mine. Not sure what we want. Do you have a photo gallery of completed ones for ideas? Do you do anything like kuiu ot sitka camo patterns?

Same here. If you can post a few more pics to choose from it would be great.

Thanks

Check the photo gallery here. I usually post more pictures each time I bump it up.

John_Boy,

I couldn’t find any pictures in the Image Gallery unless I’m looking in the wrong place. What is your turn around time? What payment methods do you except? I have a Tikka and Winchester stock that I may be interested in having painted. Thanks for your time.

Wow! Impressive work..so this is paint not dip? Cerakotenor Durakote?..Great work and amazing prices! I will be sending you something 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤠

No dipping here... Nozzles, sponges and terry cloth....
Just a fun hobby saving the work from ugly black plastic stocks....

Can you do Woodland Camo, like what the Army used on their BDU’s in the 80s?

PM me a picture...

Nice work

Thanks hanco!!!

John, is it possible to paint a stock that has a "rubberized" grip part on the stock? I have a TC compass that is pretty plain looking but it has a grayish grip part that feels like a hard rubber, I suppose to give it more grip. Can you just paint right over that, or what are my options? Thanks
