Rifle Stock Painting

[Glocklover72]

Looking for recommendations on who I could send a synthetic rifle stock to for painting/refinishing

Why not do it yourself?

Snake River Ceracote. Lots of top builders use their service.

 

[DoneNOut]

Brownell's Aluma hyde?

Krylon

DIY is suer easy. Textured spray paint.

Paint it yourself. Lots of videos out there. We've painted a few stocks for friends. They were the black plastic synthetics and the owners were young not able to afford an upgrade. The key was a plastic primer, paint of choice and several coats of a matte clear to protect it. Paint will chip off without the primer and the clear. Good luck

Exactly. Sand it down and get all the oil off. Spray with a good primer then multiple coats of flat paint. Make sure you follow label and allow to dry very well, multiple days between coats. Then throw on the texture paint. A couple coats of flat clear coat and you're ready!

Let us know if you have any questions. I used the ultra flat paint at Walmart. It took me like 3 weeks to finish because I gave each coat plenty of time to cure. I think the can said 3 days maybe? Don't rush it. It's really easy and fun!

Beware using "rattle can" paint since some will leave a mess if you get solvent, cleaner and etc.on it that may not be friendly to the applied paint. Based on experience.

You could always give Karl Kampfeld a call Kampfled Customs. He does very nice work.

I've was looking at a bunch DIY painting videos yesterday and think I'm going to try the spray paint dip method. If I screw it up, I can always sponge paint it which was my initial plan anyway. I have a couple of junk Remington takeoff synthetics to plan with experiment on.

If the stock has any paint on it, you'll need to strip it the old paint with a remover like Citristrip, it works great and easy to use.

Done a few with Krylon Camo and at the end I apply an Acrylic matte finish, they come out great
