I was wanting to paint a saddle cheekrest on a McMillan A5. Can anyone recommend a paint, coat, etc. for this project?

Like this one?
Simple to do, cleaned good with denatured alcohol and shot the rattle can Krylon to it. After the Krylon set up, overcoated with a light coat of satin polyurethane.

Re: Painting a Saddle Cheekrest?
I just finished wrapping an integral cheeckrest with 2mm neoprene foam, Peel and Stick Foamies Craft Foam comes in many colors, some artistic shapes, 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm thicknesses, several sheet sizes, with and without adhesive backing. The more common versions can be had at Wal-Mart's craft department, just clean the surface with alcohol and thoroughly dry before application. I just covered my foam over with vinyl tape to make it more durable and washable, and camo vinyl tape is available.
