Gunsmithing Painting /coating a poly stock???

[Nodak]

I am looking into painting-coating a couple poly stocks FDE. One is a Ruger 22mag and the other is an Armscor 22tcm rifle. Both are black poly. What would be a durable product for painting these?

Ceracoat would be my first choice. I have a Tikka CTR stock sone in Desert Sand and it turned out beautiful.

Yep Cerakote.

Rattle can that shit with good rustoleum 2x paint. Sand it down good, clean it really good, paint, then matte clear. I've done a couple rifles and shot the hell out of them. I'm talking thousands of rounds of positional practice between 223 and 22lr, both held up great.

I'm not saying cerakote isn't better, cause my match rifles have been cerakote. But if it's just a plastic stock why spend the money on cerakote. Use that money to buy a better stock/chassis

Ceracoat would be best but was quoted $150 to do it. I have seen Alumihyde2 at Brownells, seemed like an option.
Lineman, I'd love a chassis or even a Boyd's stock but sadly no one does or will make one for my poor 22tcm rifle. It's an Armscor M22 TCM TACTICAL 22TCM 51110

There was a post last week titled “is this a win or a fail” it was a sponge paint job that turned out pretty good.

Rattle can it...then put a krylon FLAT clear coat on it...like 5 clear coats...in very very LIGHT coats. I did that to my Ruger American stocks before eventually changing them out to chassis’s

I agree, I would not waste money cerakoting a factory synthetic stock, but that’s just me
