Custom Painting of Your Stock - 06/24/23
Base charge is $65 which includes return shipping. This is for the lower 48 using UPS. 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 recoil pads glued on the fibreglass stocks. I’ll tape those off.
I use an automotive plastic adhesion enhancer on the plastic stocks 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.
