Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Krylon, DuraCoat, Rustoleum, Gun Kote, Zolatone - stock paint.....

One thing I find about using a rattle can to paint stocks is I do not have a bunch invested and they look just as good as some very expensive products. If I scratch the stock or if I want something different, it is a very simple task to pull out the Krylon or Rustoleum.

I put down a darker base coat of something like a gray and then use a ragged sponge to lay on various darker colors, usually three or four. It looks pretty ugly at this point, but I then spray very light coats of tan or green to mute the colors below. The affect is pretty cool. If you don�t like it you can start over. When I am finished with the colors I spray a flat clear to seal it and make all the colors reflect light the same.

I've had good results with Krylon flat camo paint. Just my personal taste but I don't like shiny finishes on wood or synthetic stocks. These have an under-layer of olive with khaki over the olive. Whatever you do, get a can of acetone or other stripper because you're bound to want to strip some of your first efforts for a do-over:

Very cool, any tips on technique? What paint are you using?

As an aside, can someone tell me where to buy Krylon webbing paint?

Thanks,

Lou
