Hi guys...
Doing an 870 over and have a Remington synthetic stock for it.... can these be painted reliably? I just dont want it to chip... what's the best primer should it be able to be painted... if there is a sticky I missed on it forgive me.... I just finished a nightshift!:runaway:
Cheers,
Ken
 
Yup, no problems painting them. I used Armorcoat and krylon with good results.

There was a thread on paint jobs, very interesting and very nice rifle there.

Good luck
 
If you want a great durable finish that is easy to use and will not be affected by solvents , try Alumnihide 2 from Brownells . It takes a week to cure but is tough as nails on plastic stocks. Many colors to choose from . I have done many m14 stocks in the od green and it looks better than factory. Good luck ! Jerod
 
Trunk paint gives that Uber Mall tactical look!

Seriously though, if you look on the Web you will find some really wowzer paint jobs, the best way to learn is to play with it. Stocks are relatively small; a fresh coat will usually "correct" indiscretions like the pink pansies that seemed like a real good idea at 3 a.m. after many beers!

Better try both on your first try:D ,don't want to mess it up!!
 
I`m going to take mine to the local paint shop. The guy there is an award winning vehicle painter. He has a damn smoothe hand with the air brush. I may just turn him loose and do what ever he wants..lol
 
You are going to laugh...
I made an inquiry awhile ago that I did not mention before at one of the local gunshops... I was refinishing an 1187 SPS.... They told me to somehow "heat" the gun, then apply the paint... it bonds to the metal right away... and no runs... so I did.... covering/removing the precious parts of course.... third season and only a couple chips... hopefully the fusion stuff works even better... Was making this enquiry to see if there was any newer methods, also for the stocks... I held it in front of a forced air heater I had and it works... it did not even have any clear coat on it... it's been in some nasty duck hunting spots as well!
In case you guys want to try it...

for syn stocks either use a primer specific for plastics or the fusion line of paints that way you wont have to worry about flakes falling off LOL.
as for the webbing paints they do look awsome and are easy to control i find laying the stock flat on its side and spray across the air above it then let it fall onto the stock works great * if doing indoors have a drop sheet up or your mrs will hang you by the short and curlys.
