last week i painted my stock trying to get a different look.
i used that paint thats a stone like finnish...i looked at the can befor i bought it to make sure it would leave a hard durable finnish...but the can lied.
the paint never hardened.
i now have a ####ty looking paint job that wont stand up to anything.
im thinking of trying to clean it off with paint thinner or brake clean? but not sure if its a good idea?

would it be better to just get a new stock?
any one know what i could get for around $100?
the guns a savage 22-250 11fcxp with a dbm
 
The paint with come right off with Varsol, acetone, or paint thinner. Take it off and try again. Make sure the environmental conditions are appropriate for painting...
 
I did up a stock with the spray on plasti dip and it works pretty well...and it has a rubber feel to it when you are done . It feels like a cell phone protecter and looks pretty good as well. Home hardwear has the plasti dip
 
i used a rubber undercoating stuff it worked pretty good acuulay. not so sure if it was a good idea to put on wood but who cares it was a nasty mauser stock and it will look cool for a few months
 
"...painted my stock..." Hi. Any material has to be preped to take paint. And it has to be paint made for that material.
"...paint thats a stone like finnish..." Likely not made for synthetics. Do not clean it off and dump the sludge down a drain.
 
go to a place that sells auto body supplies and look for a product called " bumper stripper "

this is what it looks like

it will remove all of the garabage you sprayed onto the stock , while leaving the stock undamaged ( even if it is cheap plastic )

it is your least toxic option , that will completely remove all the paint from the tiniest places like checkering without damaging the checkering .

spray it on , wait for the finish to bubble , use hot water and a nylon bristle brush to scrub it off ....... dry and repeat as nessisary .
 
Use paint stripper. I used spray on stripper on my shotgun that I had painted but wanted to refinish it back to wood and the stripper worked great. Some sanding after.
 
Did my Stevens 200 stock three years ago and has held up exceptionally well in three winters of predator hunting. I applied three coats of Krylon olive drab and for the life of me, could not locate any webbing paint in Sault Ste. Marie. So I did the fianal coat in olive Excel Speckle Stone from WalMart, followed by three coats of Satin clear coat. Turned out very well, the stone finish is quite subdued and not rough - easy on the side of the face:
