Painting a KRG Bravo

[GetReal]

Looking to do a camo job on a KRG Bravo chassis.

General plan is to:

(1) Sand the black polymer to remove any coatings and give paint something to adhere to
(2) etch and clean with acetone
(3) mask off areas to give the chassis a black (factory color) base.
(4) sponge on ODG and FDE colour
(5) Maybe seal with a light spray on matte
(6) maybe bake up to 150 deg (per KRG)


Other thoughts / ideas / recommendations?

Thanx

Well I've been getting a lot of PMs asking about how I did the paint job on my Bravo. If figured I'd do a write up and make an easy spot for others to find and reference. I have a few other stocks laying around and would be willing to make a video if need be. I'm happy with how this turned...

Degrease, mask, spray paint, done.

No peeling or flaking after a couple years with plenty of use, and it's usually just tossed in the back seat.

I started with fde, did a tikka black stock and we had to strip and start over with a gray coat to let the color come through. The black base was too dark, and we were gobbing the paint on to see it.

To add to Chevy Man you can hit it with an spray that increases adhesion to plastic too but I stopped doing that as krylon or similar just doesn't come off that easily. Couple threads with info

Gunsmithing - Stock Sponge Painting

I plan to paint and sponge my rifle stock to somewhat resemble a Manners the best I can. Does anyone have any pictures of rifles they have done and any tips? I know I will have to use a sponge with a large pore size but was curious if anyone had any recommendations for what worked best for them...
