Good looking rig. Wish I had the patience to put into a rig like that. Did you do the cerakote or did you send it off?

I took the metal parts to a place local for cerakote. I plan build an oven soon so I can cerakote the next one myself.

Let me know if you need something to practice on

what paint/colors did you use for the stock?

what paint/colors did you use for the stock?

The black is the base color that the stock shipped in. The other colors are rustoleum camouflage deep forest green and khaki then I covered it all in rustoleum matte clear.

thanks, I am trying to decide on a paint scheme for my Boyd's pro varmint and I like that one

As you can see the stock started out black and I used painters tape to make the shapes that I used to make the black spots. Once I had all of the areas taped off that were to stay black I sprayed the entire stock in in the khaki color. After letting the paint dry for a bit I applied more painters tape shapes where I wanted to keep the khaki color and then I sprayed the entire stock in green. Once that dried for a bit I carefully peeled off all of the painters tape to reveal the camo pattern.
