As in topic

Am interested in potentially adding some paint to one of my stocks.

The paint will go on a plastic polymer

Just looking for something i can pick up at a store that is GTG

i don't have an air brush or anything fancy

Secondly

is this a good idea? will the paint last? will it fade/wear

if so other suggestions?

best,
Joe

krylon fusion is available at most hardware stores. it is not polane, but you can reapply as needed.

I just did 3 stocks w Krylon Fusion, then Krylon webbing and then Krylon clear. I am very pleased.

If you're happy w the texture you have, don't sand it, just clean it well and lightly scuff at most. Spray your Fusion Camo color of choice - 2 or 3 quick light coats, let it dry no more than 30 minutes, spray your webbing color - keep it movin to evenly distribute it and then quickly spray your flat clear to insure best adhesion. Let it dry thoroughly in a bit of heat if possible.

It's surprisingly quick and easy.

I did 2 OD and 1 "Khaki" each with black webbing in less tha 2 hours.
