I would recomend you go to a hobby store and ask them if they have paint that will work for vinal/rubber. They usually have a pretty good selection and in good como colors as well.

once you get the rubber primed you can paint it with what ever you want. So try what Emilio suggested

LocTite makes a good primer that removes all of the release agent from poly pro injected parts. Works great on difficult to paint surfaces.

I used krylon fusion on mine and while it is not permanent it holds up fairly well if you let it cure for a few days before you touch it

The mold release agent still present on the stock is the biggest problem with the Hogues. One that is taken off (MEK seemed to work as good as anything else) blast the surface or hit it with 100 grit. Follow that up with an adhesion promotor that is used on vinyl parts, once that is cured use the paint of choice.

here's mine with Krylon fusion, but like said it is all about prep. Mine I just wiped down with alcohol on a lint free rag

or what you could do is find a pattern that works well with whatever color the rubber inletting is, mask off the rubber and paint your pattern leaving the black(?) inlets black. ive seen some rifles done that way, and i think it looks pretty damn good... for a factory stock at least.

i would load a pic but i have no idea how to do it. my stock has a rubbery feal to it. so i need to get a type of primer used on viynl parts right? and let that cure than put whatever pattern i want on the gun.

Re: Will Dura Coat stick to a hogue stock?????

is that a rem 700 tactical, that looks like the same stock that mine is.

Re: Will Dura Coat stick to a hogue stock?????

sorry, im on a government computer, and it wont load most pics(damn filters) on this site. i didnt realize what stock you werer referring to. i thought you had the SPS plastic injection molded stock with the rubber inletting. not the rubber stock. my bad, sorry for the bad advice.

Re: Will Dura Coat stick to a hogue stock?????

no big deal, it's hard to give someone advice if you don't have a pic or a good description of what there talking about.

yes it will stick, but you must rough it up just enough to get the mold release agent out of the stock.
a slight glass bead and then clean really well with denatured alcohol, make sure your bear hands don't touch it during and after cleaning, wear latex cloves.
here is 3 I have done, duracoats does not have to be baked, let it cure for 1 week after applying to synthetic stocks or frames
