Gunsmithing Looking for advice on stock painting

[MJY65]

I have a B&C Ultralight stock on my Browning A-bolt hunting rifle. I needed to make some modifications to it, filled some defects with Devcon steel putty and now need to refinish. If possible, I'd like to do something similar to the black with gray web finish that is on there now. The black base coat is easy enough, but I'm wondering about materials and technique to get the web/splatter coat.

Thanks.<script type="text/javascript" src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/8717796/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js"></script>

If your not wanting to do this yourself I can't say enough good things about Brandon at custom gun coatings, Shortbus on here.

IIRC, the splatter finish is an epoxy paint, very rugged.Matching the finish may be a little more difficult. I would use a gel coat to get the splatter effect, similar to how you would texture sheetrock, run the pressure low and the gel coat will splatter since it is much thicker than paint. I use a ton of gel coat, polyester and epoxy resins on a daily basis, with a little practice you could get the results you like.

Krylon peels for me, but Aluma-hyde II stays.
I think of it as one part epoxy paint.

ALUMA-HYDE® II | Brownells

Very happy with the results, but cannot wait for 90 degree weather in Seattle, so I made a paint box from cardboard, sticks, a hot plate from Salvation Army, a blanket, a staple gun, and a meat thermometer.

Brownells is very helpful in email, on the phone, or in their reference information.

No. It's not epoxy. It's a single stage enamel called Polane (either Polane or Polane T+) from Sherwin williams. The spider Web effect is obtained by adding webbing solution. It's available from Florida fiberglass.

you can certainly do this at home. These are the easiest paint jobs in the world to do. It's a gun setting. Turn the air down, open the needle and let it splatter away. For paint jobs like this, this process/material IS the industry standard. H/S Precision, Bell and Carlson, etc... It's exactly what they do. It's exactly how we do it in the rare event a customer requests this type of paint work.


The issue: The smallest quantity available for purchse is one gallon direct from Sherwin Williams. It's industrial "tractor paint" -meaning its formulated for heavy industrial equipment that gets the piss beat out of it. Guys who use it for the intended application spill more paint than were using for a single application. Most buy it in drums or 5 gallon pales.

You need about 4 fluid ounces. Catalyst only sells by the gallon. You need 1 ounce. Reducer is the same.

so you'll be wasting a bunch of money but it's easy to do.

Duracoat is the same thing as Polane. More expensive per ounce, but much more manageable in smaller quantities than having to fork out the coin for Polane.

No. It's not epoxy. It's a single stage enamel called Polane (either Polane or Polane T+) from Sherwin williams.

I read that two part duracoat is two part Prolane.
Do you know the source for one part Aluma-hyde II ?
