[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 3103315, member: 87188"] Re; post #9 On my ABS stock (24 yrs old at the time), I washed with Dawn and hot water. After it was dry, I wiped it down with acetone. Then I just free-handed my airbrush with Testor's flat enamel. I used less than the equivalent of 2 bottles of paint. On my carbon fiber stock (new) I applied the grip panels: [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/stocky%E2%80%99s-vg2-aggre-grip-panels.328360/']https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/stocky's-vg2-aggre-grip-panels.328360/[/URL] Then I sanded and cleaned it with acetone to remove all of the factory clear coat which allows the primer to lock into the carbon fiber. Fyi; it looks like $h!+ after you remove factory clear coat with acetone so don't freak out about it. Then I applied Rustoleum oil base primer and Testor's (Rustoleum) flat colors free-hand with my airbrush. Fwiw; I think for this "Vine" pattern, it would have been faster to free-hand it with brushes rather than airbrush all the lines. I had to use some 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper to clean up some over spray edges on the color and primer. After the paint and primer cured for a few days, I hung the stock in the garage on a low humidity low wind day and sprayed several coats of matte clear coat enamel from wal mart. [/QUOTE]
