I gotta say that looks quite nice ... I'm not one for synthetic stocks lately as i'm loving the wood feel/look ... but that's sharp with matching handguard!

Okay, you guys got me to go out to Home Hardware, and pic up a can of Krylon Fusion. I looked for textured but they had none. They had lots of the camo flat colors so I chose one only.

Had it all stripped about 11.00p.m. last evening, ready to go and.........I said,.. "Omg what am I doing, I make a mess of everything I touch with paint". I chickened out.

Maybe tonight,...just maybe..........

I saw the Boyds sale as well posted by another, ...checked my Master-bateCard's balance,oops:redface:. Asked the wife for her's, and so.. won't be ordering one this weekend anyway:(.
Now back to that$8.00 can of paint.....
 
Painting is very easy... It's the prep-work that counts.

- Rough-up the surface with ~400 grit sandpaper (+/- 100 grit).
- Wash in HOT/SOAPY water "vigorously", rinse in hot water.
- Air-dry and/or use compressed air to dry crevices & corners.
- Use a "tack-cloth" to remove any visible fibres/hairs/etc.
- Apply a light coat of Krylon (full coverage, but light), then another after it looks dry (it's not) ~15min later.
- Allow to dry overnite atleast, 24hrs would be better.

Done like diner...

Looks good for 12 bucks. After seeing your I was set on a textured stock, just took a slightly different direction.

It's not all that hard, plus if you have another stock in mind, why not practice? I to would like to upgrade my stock in the future, in the mean while this one may go through many trial and errors.

That looks pretty sharp.
 
I've done a few mods to the chicom stocks now. I use 80 grit sandpaper on a mouse sander, then hit with adhesion promoter spray, then 2 coats EZ Liner. Let it cure 72 hours then either krylon paint it or dull it down with Rona matte clear laquer ;)
