Wrong color stock

[Alibiiv]

so I fully realize i May be ending 2018 with a silly question....what the heck, folks on here have been super helpful. I'm on a pretty tight budget looking for a good all round elk/mule deer gun that will shoot at distance. I found a smoking deal on a rifle with a 1/2 minute guarantee but, I don't like the color of the stock. I was wondering if I could send of the stock to get it repainted? Anyone done this? What does it cost? Happy new year!!!

What's your budget looking like. I have a couple of stocks that I painted myself and cleared them with a flat clear. My son helped with one of the stock, we cut some cardboard patterns of the various leafs from the area, a couple of sticks, painted a flat, dark grey base and then use different flat earth colors and got creative. I will send some photos if you would like. To me it's a hunting rifle and if it looks presentable and it's protected from the elements that's all I care about. You looking for a camo look, or simple flat, solid color. A lot of the suggestions that have already been given to you are really good ones. Just curious about what you have for money?

Second on the Alumahyde. I used it as a topcoat to make them more chemical resistant. Even the matte comes out a little shiney, as you can see on the green one. A little steel wool will dull it down.

After all was sprayed the way I wanted it (it was hard finding a flat clear), I painted the stock with a flat clear that was heat resistant paint that is used on chrome wheel rims. I know it sounds crazy, but couldn't really find a good "flat clear" that would do what I wanted!

View attachment 115972a simple base coat of black krylon and two other colors applied with a sponge can mimic any Manners paint job. Top it off with clear matte finish and it will last for years.

Never thought about a sponge, great looking job!

Thanks for the inquiry but the deal I had a chance at has passed so, I'm back to shopping around.

Wonder if this would work on a wood stock of something like a old 870? Or does it have to be a plastic?

I have done several wood stocks this way. Sand all of the finish off and then I like to use the Krylon textured paint as a base coat to give it some grip.

You should send it to Deviant and let him paint it. He does an awesome job. He makes it look easy, but I don't think I could do it.

Its easier than you think. Just use a piece of a 2x4 and practice.

Like a bunch of people have said, the rattle can jobs can do pretty well. I bought some multi cam vinyl stencils off eBay for $8, watched some YouTube, and went to town. Thought it turned out alright.

Of note, make sure you toughen up the surface prior to painting. Frustrating when you pull off a stencil and it pulls off every layer.
