Rifle Painting

Can this be done on a wooden stock and still look good? Does the finish have to be sanded off first??

I used Krylon on M14 stocks & I don't expect it to stay on too long cause I go in the bush lots & it will scratch etc..

Question : it's recommended to blast before painting. I have an AICS in o.d. that is just beautiful. I'm planning on taking some leaves and spray paint just a little bit of flat black to add texture to the green finish.

The green of the AICS will be the main colour. Will sandblasting affect it? Is sandblasting a must on a plastic stock?

i "think" you can get away with a good degreaseing and using a primer specificly for plastics such as krylon fusion primer

I'll be using arma-coat, so I should be covered...

in that case just degrease it thouroghly and use the arma-coat clear and you will be set.
while i havent used it my self i have read that it is a superior product and will with stand some harsh stuff
