I'm looking at the forum through my phone so I can't post pics. What's your email?

[bootsmcguire]

PM'ed you my email. I'll post these up for you when you get 'em sent.

[Luke45]

Sent! Thanks

[bootsmcguire]

Luke here are your pics.





Looks pretty darn nice if you ask me.

[Luke45]

Thanks a lot! It was very easy, took about 5 minutes. It was originally a black stock, I hung it up on a coat hanger and spayed some 12$ tan alumahyde epoxy paint on it, and then some 5$ black krylon Webbing while it was still wet then a very light dusting of coyote alumahyde to darken it up. Alumahyde is apparently impervious to solvents as well

I may do an OD green base coat on the next with grey webbing

[bootsmcguire]

I have a B&C Duramaxx that came factory in an OD green with black webbing that looks nice, the webbing is subtle but adds a nice something. I had wondered about a green with a grey web and then a little black web over that.

I have been thinking of a scheme similar to yours picture above, but a little darker tan for my newest coyote rifle build.

[Luke45]

I did an OD green with grey web on a water bottle today and it did not look good, I did an OD green with black web and a dust of tan on a Tupperware stock I had laying around too, and it looked great, I sent it to your email

[Luke45]

This is it done, Im thinking about painting the action and barrel a slight darker color what do you think?

[bootsmcguire]

Personally I like the metal to retain its original styles of finish respectively, but that's just me. On my newest coyote rifle build I may go ahead and do it all in a color, but I like keeping the metal the way it is because I am always switching barrels onto different actions to be able to utilize stocks the best for the current usage the rifle sees and painted metal would complicate that for me. It also sells easier should I ever want to part with a barrel or action.

They do look good painted and should conceal nicely if hunting critters with sharp little eyes.

Looks good luke.nice job! I like the idea of painting a contrasting color on the action/barrel as you said. But.....as boots said, if ever you consider selling It would probably affect the sale-ability. Mine is gonna be used as a SHTF scenario type of weapon, so im gonna paint it. Black is not a shade found in nature 'cept shadows, and a barrel/action/scope would stand out like a sore thumb.

Good job!

Is the Tan you used, Desert Tan or Coyote?

[COplains]

Wonder if that would work on a wood stock?

[buxman66]

Yes. Get a can @ your local hdwre store, and read label. Metal, plastics, wood......there some pics of some here in the pic section.

You have to get the Aluma-Hyde II from Brownells or a LGS that my carry it.

I've been wanting to do this forever. I have a lot of Krylon paints, including the 'stone finish' types. I have never seen the 'webbing' style. Way I ask where you got it?

Ok ill break it down, the base coat was desert tan aluma hyde II from brownells. Then i webbed it with krylon black webbing (michaels arts and crafts) then i dusted it with coyote aluma hyde to darken it up. The coyote is too dark IMO to use on its own. I normally wouldnt use krylon on its own, But the Krylon cures into the alumahyde exoxy and it wont wear off. You dont even have to bake it, just let it air dry

I used to buy Krylon webbing spay at a local dust collector (scrap booking) shop, but I think they dropped all but a few colors, white, black and gold I think. It used to be also available in green, red and gray.

For different colors of web I used the enamel paint/Testor's plastic cement/lacquer thinner mix sprayed with an airbrush , this one medium-dark gray web over a Duracoat blue base.


The mix ratios I used...
Paint - Glue - Thinner.
25% 75% 1/4 tsp Very fine webbing
50% 50% 1/4 tsp Medium web
75% 25% 1/4 tsp Heavy thick narrow pattern.


Another one, white over pink....
