[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 918881, member: 30902"] Nice job. Prep is pretty simple, hit it with carburetor cleaner to strip off any oil, scrub with fine steel wool if needed while doing so. Wash it down and let it dry. Hit it with some 120-180gr sand paper. Brownell's Alumahyde II works very well. Make sure paint is at or slightly above room temp. Make sure stock is at or above room temp. I generally warm it a bit with a heat gun. Paint as desired. Be patient. Allow the paint to set up and cure in a warm area for a couple of days before handling. Give it at least a week or two to cure out after putting it back together before hauling it off to the range or field. Surface prep and curing are the two most important parts of painting. [/QUOTE]
