[TheArmyMan204]

hey guys, been wanting to paint a stock (Remington 700) for a long time now but was always too nervous haha. I figured id post in black rifles because you guys tend to have more of the same tastes as me.

however im kinda stuck on what I should do! I like so many types of paint jobs I just cant decide. so please help me out and try to sway me in one direction, any pictures would be great too!

My wife just bought a "Muddy Girl" camo kit for her AR 15.

I used a textured spray paint called "Granite" on a couple of plain Jane 788 stocks and they look pretty spiffy. The same paint is available in turquoise, pink, and other colours.
Needs a clear coat overtop for durability.

I wonder if you could paint a stock with spray on truck bed liner or concrete floor coatings. Would last forever.

Some bed liners get very sticky when they get Hoppes on them. I bought an M14 stock that was coated with that. At first I thought it looked cool, but I ended up stripping it all off.

While I prefer OD for a solid color, If i was to paint one up, it would be a winter/arctic scheme. Something about it just looks really good. SO I voted "Other". I did an M305 up with the tree branch method and it turned out pretty good.

Been growing very fond of the Kryptek… pick your poison there, but painting that ain't gonna be easy.

I like doing a digital sorta paint job using a sea sponge. Looks really cool.
