Didn't Know Where To Post This.....Stock Painting

[Savage 12BVSS]

I have two carbon fiber stocks that could use a fresh coat of paint. Its not due to wear or use at all, just poor color choice on one and some barrel channel work on the other. The maker used an epoxy coating that has been bulletproof for over a decade and I would like to duplicate that with new colors. I've done rattlecan paint jobs in the past and they don't resist scratches and wear that well. If anybody knows of a place that does good coatings I would appreciate it, the original maker of the stocks is backed up for months and you never know what real color and webbing style you will get. If all else fails will live with the current coatings but open to suggestions. Thanks

Yes I've done paint jobs on stocks before but pushing thru brush and climbing up to stands thru limbs are pretty hard on finish. I got to know what is laundry bag for? I used to paint for a living including custom cycle work, its that marine epoxy coating that withstands everything. Maybe I'll try to find the paint around here. Stockade Stocks wants $100 a stock but turnover is anyones guess

Alumahyde makes an epoxy clearcoat from Brownells. Works pretty good but leaves a slight shine, I think it can be buffed out, but I think it looks kinda cool. I'll wait and see if I get busted before I buff it out.

Hey Butter, is that the freezer Leatherface used in Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 version)?

Sweet stocks guys. The laundry bag is a solid idea.

I have used krylon for sponge jobs then rolled on 2 part clear epoxy. A little scotchbrite to knock down the sheen and you're good. Cheap

 

[Shane Lindsey]

Does the roll on epoxy smear the krylon?

 

[Mram10us]

Didn't for me as long as the krylon was dry

nothing to it. i use painters tape to block off what i dont want painted. sometimes duct tape on metal parts. then go to town with a base coat. the laundry bag works. i've used balled up paper towels to create a sponge like effect. you can also use a handful of twigs. just lay them on the stock and paint over it. anything that will create a disruptive pattern. i'd post pics but my work computer won't let me
