Anyone splatter camo paint their stock saw a pic of one and kind of liked it can't the pic now just wondering how it's done.
I've done a couple of sponge camo jobs. They are done using a sea sponge. Not sure if it's what you're talking about but I'll tell you how I do it.
Materials list.
painters tape (for areas you dont want to paint like the surface of the recoil lug)
denatured alcohol (for a good prep)
sea sponges
paint
First good prep is important. Wipe the stock down with denatured alcohol to remove any oils or cleaning products that will keep the paint from sticking. I use Rustoleum camouflauge paints so I'll call the colors what they call them
then paint the stock with the lightest color I usually start with Khaki. Then go back and stripe it diagonally with the lightest contrasting color. In this case I use army green. Then I use a sea sponge (available at any craft or hobby shop they also have them with the art stuff at wal mart).
I spray a puddle of khaki onto a hard slick surface like a magazine page blot the sponge into it and blot it over the green. then repeat this process blotting green over the khaki. The last one I did I liked a lot and used 4 colors starting with Khaki and light green and blotted a darker "deep forest green" over the khaki and "earth brown" over the army green. When I'm done though I dont think it's absolutely necessary I seal it up with a couple of coats of Testors dull coat clear lacquer. You can find the "Testors" dull coat almost anywhere they sell plastic models like at a hobby shop or in the hobby section of a big box store.
This one is two colors

If that's the look you're after then It's easy and not very expensive. I have found that it's easy to over apply with the sponge so less is more is probably a good rule to follow. If you decide to spray yours then take pics and post em up.
Good luck, BHJ
Wow I like that you think just prepping my black accustock and just like a grey color and then the clear would stick ok ?
Plenty of guys paint their Savage factory stocks.
It would stick, but to get the effect like on those two rifles of mine, you would need to do grey and black paint. First paint the stock grey (the lighter color) then do black diagonal stripes. After that go back with a sea sponge and blot grey over the black and black over the grey. It would probably be an effect similar to the picture of the top rifle which is 2 colors. If you like it then seal it up.
If you are talking doing the webbing effect like you see on some rifles, Then there are specialty paints available at the big box stores to do just that. They are typically webbing paints or marbleizing paints and come in many colors.
If it comes out shiny a top layer of Testors dull coat will kill the shine.
Just make sure you prep good first if you decide to do any painting.
There are lots of tutorials all over the internet for either style of painting.
Good luck and post pics when you're done.
Thanks for the help.
I've used a product from Axalta called Mastertint Vinyl. It's a plastic paint that can be custom mixed in a variety of colors. I've gotten it in as little as 3oz. Seems to last very well.
Do you have any pic's with something painted with it ?Quote:
