Thanks, but the texture there is straight from McMillan. It was a black A5. I just "GAP"ed it.

Aluma Hyde II is a great product; works great on stainless barrels, very tough (epoxy based) so will work on stocks, I am sure. At $12.00 per can, and 10-12 colors, and 1 can will do 2-3 rifles, it can't be beat. And, the color chart is spot on for the color you get.
Use brake cleaner to degrease the steel parts, I guess a light sanding with alcohol wipe down will prep a stock.
It's a great product.

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

G-Dawg, I have done some textures like that before as well. The way I did it was to take a small, ball shaped Dremel cutter, then lightly "dimple" the area(kinda like a golf ball)that you want. Tape off the outside lines as you would for checkering, and work from the outside to the inside going around the pattern until you get to the center. Just be careful on the spacing and dont go too deep. I practiced on a tupperware stock to get the feel. My customer was a happy camper!

Very cool, any tips on technique? What paint are you using? Smokepole... I use both Krylon camo colors and Rustoleum paint. The base coat is not so important as far as colors go. I spray a color into a spray can cap or paper bowl and then dab a piece of sea sponge in the paint. I randomly place colors around and overlap the colors below. When that dries I spray light coats of a pale camo color (in this case - green) keeping the spray can two to three feet away from the stock when spraying. After that dries I hit the entire stock with a flat clear coat. You can alway do it again if you don't like the results.

How oil and solvent resistant is the Krylon & Rustoleum.

I routinely spill Hoppe's on the Krylon and it's none the worse for it. I don't use an overcoat, and the Krylon will get a burnished look from wear under the forearm and at the pistol grip.
Thanks 'Looney.

+1 for Duracoat. I have had great success using on stocks and barreled actions.
As an aside, can someone tell me where to buy Krylon webbing paint?
Thanks,
Lou

I just painted my Montana. Not really against the blue/grey as it comes, but not really a fan either. Here it is now. I used the Krylon camo paint and some black webbing.

yep duracoat for stocks and cerakote for Metal
if you use the krylon web spray then cover the whole stock in the duracoat semi gloss clear. makes it very tough.
