Good technique

Some damn fine looking work here!

I took an old 10/22 stock and cut off an inch to fit my 10 year old boy.
I sanded it down with 80 grit and good acetone wipe.
Primered with self etching primer, and then hit it with some bed liner spray.
Few years later I decided to used some Krylon green to go over that. After few days of drying I sprayed a coat of satin.
Turned out much better than I though.

Back up for the new members.

Too many good pics here to be lost.

Agreed!!!

I enjoyed seeing the cool paint job pics so much I may start a new thread before hunting season. This is pure artwork to me, that's functional.

Just did a shotgun this weekend.

Roughed up the surfaces a little (though don’t think necessary), wiped down good with denatured alcohol.

Taped off what i didn’t want paint on.

Tan base coat, let it dry a couple hours, then brown sprayed over a cedar branch in a random pattern.

Few coats of matte clear coat.

Turned out great. Easy peasy

Pics can make you famous though

A couple I did a few years back. Stone texture, camo krylon w/sponge, black web, and Alumahyde II matte clear coat. They are holding up well.

Still functional hide the flash paint job, was very effective. This rifle alone has taken more game than many have taken with all their rifles combined.



Note the rust patina on the bolt.


What is left of the paint on this side.


The barrel is stainless and chambered in 7x57. Awesome rifle.

Aervoe paint




Sponge camo paint job, Aervoe paint




Aluma-Hyde II, stock

Ya'll definitely have some artistic painting skills

LOBO2 - all look great, nice work!

Gents, it's time for the webbed-paint effect to be put out to pasture.

SKANE, Couldn't Agree More. Rio7

What is to take its place?

The webbing adds surface texture/grip as well as looking good. I’ll be keeping it on my rifles.

Thank you sir.

Webbed paint is great!! I love it on my B&C stock that I have!!
