Re: Most durable stock paint
If your buying it yourself it typically ranges from $50 to $150 gallon. All depends on the pigment.
I had all my stuff custom blended to match my Ceracoat test coupons so it cost a bit more, but was very much worth it.
If your wanting a single color sprayed its $75.00. This gets it prepped, masked, and shot in base color. Then we'll add the spatter to texture.
Would have a job like this in/out in a week. I like to leave them to sit a day or two prior to shipping to ensure the paint gets fully cured out.

Re: Most durable stock paint
We have a small composite stock manufacturing outfit and are using Duracoat since a few years. Duracoat is possibly the easiest to apply paint that I know of. For a composite stock I think duracaot is better than ceracaot but for action/barrel ceracoat is certainly better.
Duracoat for stocks might be quite good compared to other paints but it is far from what I expect a paint to hold up to. We have experimented blending our own paints from scratch using high quality resins as a base and blending in varies micronised fibres and ceramic powders. Goal is to have a grippy surface, increase wear resistance and chip resistance. Another advantage is that we can run a temper program and have the paint 100% cured within 24hrs. Pity we have so little time and can only work on this project every now and then.
This stock was one of the early experiments, it's now somewhere in the NZ bush.
