I see you moved the furniture this time. Didn't the wifey like the over spray ? I was thinking in the first photo. You should have at least covered up the furniture first. lol

I can't focus on Lance's stuff.
Too busy wiping the droop off my chin gazing at those TT's

How are you all solving the chipping problem? I spray primed and rustoleumed a Tikka stock, if someone looks at it wrong a piece flakes off.

When I paint plastic bumpers on cars I use a plastic adhesion promoter. Not sure if anyone does on these stocks. But when I do one, I will be. A can goes a long ways. You could try the SEMS brand. They usually make decent stuff.

Lance is a bad influence. He's very expensive. Because of him I own a s&b amongst other reamers. Only issue can't hold it against because he's smart as a whip.

I did on that one.

What do you do for prep before painting ?

Depends on the stock and if it is new or old. Usually wipe down with alcohol, then a damp microfiber towel.
If it is a full paint, I prime it. If itnis a sponge job, I go right to paint.

I have not had a problem, and I have a bunch that I did years ago that have seen a lot of truck and pack time.

Prep work probably has a lot to do with it.

Crappy pic, but it took about 5mins to paint.

what kind of sponge are you guys using? I have painted a few with stencils, but the sponge style is really growing on me.

Grout sponge, works for me. Cut it with siszzor to get more sponges, for more colors.

What's everyone using for a clear coat/finish coating?

I cut up a sea sponge into different shapes.

I didn't put any clear/finish on mine. Some of the ones that I seen with had too much of a sheen. Mine is holding up fine and if you scuff it up just give it a shot of paint.
If you do a search here there's a couple good threads about painting stocks.
