I've done a few…have an automotive paint guy clear coat them and put them in the oven at a lower temp for a longer than his normal time. I had a local guy who would shoot them for less than $100 but I had to have them taped off and ready to be painted. It's crazy the depth it adds to the swirly.

I like the white and black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a couple of the stocks from rbros too. One was scratched all over so I'm gonna paint that one with the sponge and cover it up.

Had some marks on mine too but very happy with the price and quick shipping.

Oh I wasn't unhappy either. They were tiny and it was inexpensive for a manners. It'll make a great 300 prc

Haha that's exactly what I'm doing. Rebarreling a CA ELR 28 Nosler to 300 prc. Got a barrel from him too.

Here is my latest experiment. I did the usual prep, then three coats were a near black texture, red marble can fairly heavy and dead flat matte…has the best feel by a longshot I just have to get used to the color departure for me.

I like Duracoat a lot. If you have a compressor, get a little hobby air brush sprayer. I have bought stencils from Duracoat, printed some online and cut some from masking tape.

The stencils from Duracoat are pretty sticky. I chose a difficult digital camo pattern for an AR. Looks great, but I'll never do that pattern again. Way too difficult on an AR. Too many hard angles to negotiate.

You can sponge paint w Duracoat too.

I have also used a good quality spray paint. They all seem to stick just fine.

Ok.... maybe I could give it a go. It's a flat black eh1. What type of paint would you recommend for sponge type of painting? Gel coat?

I have used c series cerakote (air dry) for sponge painting a few stocks and it holds up really well.

@Darryle That was me that mentioned that to you. I spoke with a Manners tech guy about it . Below is the same paints Manners uses for their sponge type camo jobs. Called "Proline R/C Body paint". Formulated for model RC Airplanes, Cars, etc. Holds up very well and I've had great luck with it. I've not had any issues with cleaning solvents harming it either.

Thanks for starting this thread! I learned a lot.
Maybe I'll have to look for a new project!

@TexSavage…I'd lose that rifle sitting it down somewhere. Nicely done sir!
