Got a synthetic Ruger stock I want to custom paint myself. Would like to get the spatter/splatter effect and have read that some of the spray paint companies have products that do just this; can't seem to find them online.

Anyone have stock nos. for Krylon or Rustoleum splatter products?

I think you might be referring to webbing spray paint?

Here's a link to a place that sells it. Not sure if its the best deal out there, just the first Google brought up.

Thank you, Scorpion. Sure wish they had it in red, too.

we find it locally at some of the arts/craft stores.


you can use the semi gloss clear in Durakote over it. Makes it very tough

Yep, I really wish they offered more colors in it, as well.

How are lite pebble like finishes done I have seen some examples on forarms posted

I think some of those paints are either somewhat proprietary, a la the High Tech Specialties stocks (Mark Bansner's) or some type of textured paint, maybe Polane T?

You can do it on the cheap yourself with Valspar Stone spray paints. Lowe's carries them. I just painted a stock with their granite color, and could hang some pictures if you'd like.

Here are some links to a couple different types of textured or speckled paint.

ive done both the peeble stone and the webbing spray paint finnishes. if you dont clear them they will rub off easily. the paint is supose to be for craft projects and watch out for solvents around finnished pieces also. they do look jam up when done though. ive don e5 so far

Went to the craft store last night to get some of this paint the colors were limited and the best choice for a base they had was green and they only had the gold splatter. I had an old stock laying around so I figured what the hell and tried it out. I think it turned out nice for the first try considering the colors I had to work with. Very easy to do.

This is the exact reason I do webbing with cerakote

I've done my own spatter type finishes with Polane T. After spraying the base coat, one adds the spatter color and turns the volume knob up and the air psi down on the paint gun and tests the effect on a piece of cardboard. If it's good then go to town. It won't rub off like the cheap piss can finishes do.

are you guys using hvlp guns or air brush with the ceracote finnishes? i'm always up to trying diffrent technices. i've got an old beel and carlson stock thats been 4 diffrent colors and is now od green with black webbing done with the krylon spray bombs.

mussleblast....

I am using both the airbrush, and the HVLP gun for cerakote. You can do a lot with a Mini HVLP gun though.. You will want to look for .08mm tip (if I recall)...

Hint,,, It is all about the prep.....

So Brasshound and eddief, did y'all both take the NIC classes?

Webbing....... it's so yesterday.

No sir I have not and don't plan it.

NIC did call and was very interested in how I figured out how to web with cerakote because they haven't figured out how to do it yet.

In fact, I'm not aware of anybody in the industry that knows how to do it. I guess you could say it's my little secret (grin).

Have not and do not plan to take any of their classes either.
Found the same as Eddie, this is all new territory for this company.

Will likely fart around with spray paint on that Ruger Mk II stock a bit, but if I decide to keep my recently blooded Ruger No. 1 Tropical .375 will likely contact y'all both about getting the metal coated to look like Ruger Target Grey.

I think that shade with the nice wood on this rifle would look fanastic...

You could also send it to Rick Bin for a quality job at an affordable price without all the hassle.
