You guys are all doing good work.
I am thinking about doing a Bell and Carlson stock I have in a tactical zebra pattern.

If you're thinking about (censored) for the first time, you might be feeling excited, scared or nervous.
There are far too many how to videos of dudes doing it on youtube. I wouldn't worry about it. Watch the video, then watch 3 more then buy the paint, tape, sand paper and have at it.
New to me, but painted none the less, Sako TRG 22.
The scope is from my Mk13 build and has been dragged in and out of the drag bag lots of times during the last 12 months. The Nightforce bikini rubber scope cap also rubs the paint. Anyhow.
It might get a repaint towards the summer.

A product called "Montana Marble"
I got it at an art supply store. It only comes in a few colors. Base color was engine black. The top coat was the epoxy spray.

Trying to decide if this looks like amateur hour or not. The factory paint began to chip around the nose from the bipod. I decided to repaint. I know its not gonna look factory but would like to look nice. Brown, OD, black, Coyote. The black and the brown almost look the same unless you look close. Its weird. Would it look better with a solid OD stock?
did a snake skin pattern at one point that turned out well. Thinking I’ll try the sponge next.
Looks fine to me. Wouldn't work where I live because it's more of a semi-arid to desert landscape but in a green forested area this would work great.
Hey that looks pretty dang good. I first thought these were the before pics. Looks like something I'd see as a factory finish to me. I'm sure if I was looking at it in hand there are "flaws" but then you can sand it down for a do over if you wanted. There's nothing wrong with it!
looks great
there is no amateur/pro, what ever fits your terrain
if i spray it pure white but i hunt in the snow is that amateur?
Yep the green and the rusty brown just didn’t turn out the way I was hoping.
The brown reminds me of the AL & GA clay you can get into down south. The green is just too green...lol
Still looks good overall. Just change that green. Maybe overspray it with another green...
What brand paint were you using??

Cool. I know plenty of guys use them for their home paint jobs. I went with the Brownells stuff since I find the colors tend to be what I want. Yes, the cap colors doesn't really match what you may expect. Once you figure out what it's really like on the weapon you can plan a pretty decent paint job.
Like turning the grip into a sanding block....
No, I don't have silicon carbide on any gun. I do have a piece of skateboard tape on the front strap of a 1911 style pistol. Grips well but is a little abrasive until you develop some callouses.
You might not want it everywhere on a stock.
Tried again. Ipotato photo... OD, Khaki, Flat Black. I think it came out much better.

What stock is that? I like the geometry and it looks lighter than some of the more "tactical" adjustable ones?
Factory Sako A7 stock, I think its a Bell and Carlson but haven't been able to confirm it. The gun is mostly factory, only thing I changed was the floor plate to a metal one and the bolt shroud to a metal 85 shroud. Lack of aftermarket support and low production numbers will probably kill the model at some point. Most of the parts are interchangeable with a Sako 85 which is nice. Just need to find a dbm for it. For 800 I paid I'm happy with it

this. works very well, but a little bit goes a long way.
works very well with a 1" wide strip down the bottom of a shotgun pump, I can easily work the action on my mossberg 590 a1 with an open hand it grips so well
I really like this color combination. I'm assuming it's the same sponge method you used in your stock picture? Could you also share the colors you used for this? Apologies if I missed it in the thread.
Yep, sponge method using khaki and army green, layering one on the other.
Tried my hand at the “battle worn” look for the first time yesterday.
I recently got into the spray paint action on the Rugar American Ranch that I use for some of my Hog hunting... I couldn't believe how easy it was.
Cerakote C Series and Preval Sprayer. Base is an FDE Bravo with a Patriot Brown, then Forest Green, outline Graphite Black. Light passes with extra fine steel wool.
Just saw this thread. Watched part of the video. Now I have to go to the safe, find a stock, and do some sort of custom theme. Lol. Awesome thread!
Not sure on this one yet. I guess we'll see how it looks after clearcoat. H&S precision with Krylon OD, and black. Rustoleum brown primer and khaki.
