Painting a Stock

[Drmsparks]

Here's my first stock painting attempt.

I was shooting for a tiger stripped inspired stock.

Materials:

Rustoleum Plastic paint (tan)

Rustoleum camoflage paint (brown and green)

Denatured alcohol

Jute rope, unwound and frayed.


first off, a good wipedown with denatured alcohol.

Then paint it tan, wrap with rope:

Then paint Brown and Green.

Let it dry, and unwrap:

Notes:

I was unsure if there would be problems with the rope sticking to the stock, so I tried to find the sweet spot in the drying time (dry but not cured). I think that part was un needed, and I would let it dry fully before unwrapping. The rope did not stick, and there was some minor smearing when I unwrapped.

Pretty cool Dave, how long was the entire process?

 

[Boondock Saint]

That looks awesome! Quite honestly better than I thought it would have looked based on my initial perception.

 

[Drmsparks]

At most a couple of hours. Longest task was unwinding and fraying the rope....

Heres mine. Base of gray auto primer on bare wood. A base of rustoleum tan camo paint, followed by rustoleum brown camo paint sprayed over a handfull of beach grass I rubber banded together and moved around on the gun.
