Gunsmithing Refinishing a Bergura B14 HMR Stock

I would like to change the color of my factory stock. What material can I use to accomplish this?
Aluma hyde and Dura coat are options as well.
You'll want to make sure you get one that does not require baking.
Your stock will be out of circulation for a couple of weeks.

Thanks. I hoped to avoid spray painting in favor of something more durable. I'll check out Cerakote.

Krylon is pretty durable, I have a couple stocks that have been painted and only the edges of a chassis that have been on barricades show any wear. Check out painting in the DIY threads. So easy even a caveman can do it.

I painted with some good Krylon, and then put a matte duracoat topcoat and let it cure for a week. It has been usedin PRS matches for over a year and still in solid condition with no chips, major scratches, or spiderwebbing.
