Krylon Stone paint

I bought a can of the stuff, but opted to go with a coat of truck bed liner under a regular matte paint.
Keeps us posted, I'm curious to see how durable it is.
It's hard to tell from the small picture, but that looks like a stevens 200 - the bolt looks familiar, and I think I see the giveaway savage barrel nut on there.

Odds are not all that great. Been there....
The best stuff I have found is rock guard paint for cars/trucks. This is a clear spray 'paint' used to protect rocker panels. It goes on thicker then reg paint and cures to a semi rubbery surface (over time it becomes hard like any other paint).
It even has a bit of texture so blends well with the stone paint. This stuff requires some effect to pick off and so far has not rubbed off at all.
This is the best stuff I have used to date but will keep looking.
If you have the spray equipment, the cataysed stuff is even stronger then the pre packaged spray cans (air cured). I am just using the spray cans for now.
Got the last can from Lordco.
If you know someone at a auto paint shop, ask them to give you advanced notice the next time they have to repaint a car/truck and rocker panels. They always have extra paint in the guns so why not hammer some on a few stocks for you.
If they do it, odds are it will just be for the cost of labour or maybe some other deal. Best stuff for cheap.

.................yes i know all about bedliner paint. I have done 1/2 a dozen stocks in it. Wanted to try this out as it looks really cool. The top coats are a very hard Krylon clear coat. I am pretty sure it should stand up well.
............My father is set up and has painted everything from autos to his airplanes. We hae a little bit of experience in the paint dept.

I've used the Stone Paint and clear coat. It was not that durable. It still wore easy and the clear cloat makes it chip.
I have found this stuff to be pretty durable. Four years ago, I used it to spruce up the tiles on the wall of my bathroom. They were plastic tiles and I didn't feel like replacing them so I just painted over with the stone stuff. With the amount of humidity in a bathroom I didn't think it would last a month...but 4 years later it's still there.
Application was : 2 base coats of krylon fusion (plastic paint), 2 coats of stone stuff and clear coat.
Good luck

I use Speckle Stone Textured spray paint that I buy at Rona for all the stocks that I paint.
Heres a link to my Rem 700 300 & 375 Rum rifles that I painted.

The stuff starts to wear off quickly after one hunt just from rubbing day after day on your jacket. Any dings on hard surfaces and you can get chips and also it scuffs. No big deal but hardly durable.
Here's a picture of my son with his new SKS that I gave him at Christmas. I painted it with the Speckle Stone paint. Turned that ugly piece of cheap junk into a fairly good looking rifle.

I always do 3 or 4 coats of semi-gloss acrylic after I paint the stock.
It actually takes abit to scratch the paint off but if it happens like one time when I flipped my quad down a hill with the rifle in a Kolpin case it did scratch off a fair.
After the hunting season was over I sanded the remaining paint off with a palm sander and repainted it. Good as new.......
