painting

I was considering painting my Savage-10 a Desert Digital camo, has anyone done that before, and how would I go about doing it?:confused:

Hey guys, Just wanted to let everyone know that I use "H" baked on series cerakote on the stocks I paint. I don't bake at 250*F that would ruin any stock not to mention the bedding. All I can say is when my stocks are cured, the finish is just as durable as on the metal. Bedding is not...

I'm wanting to duracoat my 700p, just the barrel, action, and base and rings. The stock is already done. I have one of these compressors. I am planning on getting this $25 airbrush from Lauer - link. My question is, other than the paint, what else do I need to get started. I have heard...

How exactly does one go about painting a rifle, I have a savage 12VSS with a stainless steel barrel and a grayish polymer stock, I've been thinking of making it similar to marine digital colors (minus the perfect squares), any thoughts?

I would like to give the metal work of my stainless steel Howa a coat of matt black paint. I am nearing the end of having a rifle built on a Sako action, and once the dust settles on that, I intend upgrading the stock and the barrel of the Howa, so I don't want to spend too much on it at the...

I plan on painting my rifle within the next week or so: I intend to use the method laid out in Trigger Monkey's "Rifle Painting Tutorial" thread: TM's Paint Thread . I did however have some specific technique questions that I was hoping to get some input on... I will be using Brownell's...

When my barrel finally arrives it'll be plain stainless. I know people like Brownells' Aluma-Hyde and I've heard that it does stand up to solvents pretty well. I really don't need anything else from Brownells at the moment, and don't really want to pay $10 to ship a can of spray paint. Is there...

I'd like some suggestions on painting. Anything but solid black. I settled on a monocular for my first NV and the compromise works well enough on the Basic. It'll get another piece of rail up front next weekend so I can split up the rings but this setup is very rigid. Once I get the rail...

I have an old McMIllan stock that I would like to paint OD green. It is originally black from McMIllan. If the stock is cleaned and prepped well, can I make a good paint stick to the stock? What is the best way to prep the surface before painting? What is a good paint to use? Is Krylon...

I currently have an RWS rifle build that does not have any finish on the barrel(stainless) or the recoil lug which is a badger ordnance in the white. since the recoil lug seems to be the only carbon steel thing not finished, do you think it would be safe to go ahead and krylon the rifle?

I talked with GAP today about painting a Mcmillan stock for me. They were glad to do it, and the price seemed reasonalble. I forgot to ask them about their painting process. I know a lot of folks here on the Hide have GAP painted stocks/rifles. 1. How well are they holding up? 2. What...

this is what im attempting to make a career out of. thought you all would be a good audience for this one. 62"x42" oil/canvas

i have a SSS stock on my 22 savage and what is the best way to paint and seal and finish this stock so it will not wear? it will see alot of ranch/field use so i would like a sturdy coating and method of applying it the stock is currently red/black unfinished laminate

Anybody know if I can paint a laminate stock such as those found on the Savage Mark II BV? How much trouble would it be and what would I need? Would the wonderfull Krylon work? thanks

Ok I have a Rem. 700 SPS Tactical with a Choate stock. I am wanting to do something cool and paint the stock. I am not sure about painting the scope and barrel just yet. How do you guys mask of your designs? What products do you use for sanding and painting. I see that Autozone has some flat...

I've seen this guys work before, but not the detail as seen on the web site. Truly incredible work. http://www.kustomcamo.com/

When painting up a barreled action what do you use to mask off the places you dont want covered? lug area, scope lenses, turrets, crown. is there a special tape for this or am i GTG with any old tape i have laying around? Thanks guys!! Im a rookie painter!

I have already painted my rifle once, do I need to strip off all paint when I want to paint it again?

I tried to do some searching on here to no avail. I'm interested in the proper way to paint the safe and fire on my AR. I've seen some partial information on using Testors enamel but I don't want to start painting until I know its the right way. Thanks!

I have been getting alot of requests for more information on my stencils I have made. To see an example look in the gallery under "FN SPR with some stencil work" so I decided to give a more detailed tutorial on the process. I can cut any kind of logo, insignia, name, saying or design that...
