I followed some of Lance's advice on the Testers paints and the clear and it came out awesome for me . I did have a old stock to test colors and applications. I didn't want to make any mistakes with my Manners lrh . It did give me the opportunity to test colors and pick the combo I liked. I ordered the stock in midnight camo and added everything else .

Oh yeah I like it. I just ordered a Pure Precision carbon stock for a Savage long action and am anxiously waiting for it . Those guys are awesome to work with they had me measure everything before hand , I absolutely recommend them

My first attempt at sponge painting using rust oleum. I decided not to use a clear coat but it's held up well. Not nearly as fancy as others but definitely better than the black it was. I may get a little more creative on the next one.

Looks pretty neat for a first attempt

I've done several and even a few small boats with natural sponge and krylon for plastic outdoor furniture. My most recent

Any suggestions on who to send a manners stock to get a paint job? I've got a flat black stock and would like camo on it.

I might suggest trying it yourself. I researched it thoroughly on YouTube, (lots of how-to there), & did my first snow camo myself. Surface-prep is important as is using good paint. (I did my stock only - no metal).
To use sponges, stencils & various colors just sort of "think backwards" to achieve your desired end result. When I finished I applied several clear coats, (flat, not gloss), for added durability. I really enjoyed it & it looks great.

Following with interest. I have several rifles with plain black Tupperware stocks that I'd like to enhance. A few comments stress the importance of good prep. What is the recommendation here?

If you are a bit OCD, want a specific detailed pattern or freak out with a scratch or two, it's probably best to send out for a professional job. However, if you are looking at reducing the signature you can easily accomplish that on your own. Practice on a piece of wood or something similar to ease any anxiety. I used Aervoe spray paint, but they no longer make military colors. Pretty simple process really. Degrease with a cleaner, remove or mask anything you don't want to paint, then apply light coats going from light to dark colors. You can use a stencil from online. I normally use a small repair section for Army camo net. I lay it over and hit random spots, then move the stencil until I get the coverage I want. Don't try to fill every hole. The entire process takes about 30min. Its quick, easy to touch up and I would say durable enough for most use. If you don't like it, its also easy enough to strip off.

I have painted 3 stocks(all were High Tech Specialty)(Bansner).
Used "Illinois Bronze" Wrinkle Finish, comes non slick wrinkle as it dries.
The only colors that I have used are black,grey,&forest green!
You could probably get stencils and try to get creative,but I just striped it!

I went with Greg Ballard with http://ontargetcustoms.net/ with 2 of my rifles he does a fabulous job.
I have painted rifles myself and they hold up just fine too, totally depends what you're looking for.
