Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

I like to use a gap camo in the color of my surroundings I will be using the gun in.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: stalski</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Fucia</div></div> Annnnd I'm going to have to confiscate one of your man cards. Not for knowing what it is, but for calling it that instead of pink haha
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Lavender with tiny "cotton candy" poke-a-dots. Then I would order some clear coat from House of Colors and make it shine like a diamond in a Allah's ass. With "Up Your's Allah" on the side of the stock.

No really, maybe a Magpul or Tango Down FDE on the action/barrel and then a CavArms Folliage Green or Cavarms OD Green from Dura Coat on the stock.

Or, if you are good at painting, a camo job on the stock. But definitely and FDE on the barrel/action.


I still like the "Up Your's Allah" idea better.
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Just do something absolutely completely unnecessarily gaudy. Gold plate the entire stock and diamond encrust the pistol grip for stippling. Then have the barreled action plated in platinum. Get the magazine wrapped in pure gold leaf, and just because you can, have someone engrave "right hand of god" on the forend.
In all seriousness, I would go with a leaf green, or maybe a gray if you like neutral colors.

Remove the stock and lay some tall grass over it. Paint with a light tan and then move the grass and repeat with olive drab. Ta da you have a grass camo stock.
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

I think a GAP color scheme like this would look nice.

Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Scimitar suggested ATACS- agree. 'Not too tacky/gaudy, and matches alot of surroundings. Not enough time left this year to send it for pro paint job and receive it back so rattle can it yourself with the grass idea.
Man, if that's your hunting rig, you must have one bad ass comp gun.
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

+1to the "up yours Allah" hahahahaha. The shit would look sick. But for real gap camo looks good with any color flavor really
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

When doing gap style do y'all do the dark or the light colors first

Do your light colors first. The darker colors cover the lighter colors better. If you do light over dark sometimes it the dark will bleed through.
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Low tone and broken colors found in the areas you will be hunting in? It's crazy enough it just might work.
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Anyone ever done any fish net or other material like that and oversprayed it
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Got it painted. Will post pics soon. Let me know what y'all think when I do
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

Pics don't do it justice. In person you can see all 4 colors
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

What colors did you use? That is awesome! You did a very nice job! Is this your first rifle that you have painted? From looking at this rifle, you may have found you a way to make some extra cash.


Very Nice!!!!!
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

2 layers of a brown colored primer I used 4 colors. I can't recall what the tan is called at the moment. Mud brown. Olive drab. And flat black. Then finished up with a clear satin acrylic. All but the clear were sprayed through a mesh decoy bag. Used for my duck decoys. Alternating mesh position and orientation with each color the mesh was left slightly raised to allow for some overspray that helps blend the colors and yes this is the only stock I have ever painted
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

I will get some pics tomorrow in the daylight and see if I can capture the colors better
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

it looked just like snake skin when i only had half of the colors sprayed
 
Re: What Color Should I Paint This Stock

i like the way the way it looks
