Stock Paint

[HogPopper]

I recently aquired a 6 PPC on a Teddy action in a McMillan stock. The stock is in need of a face lift. What is the best way to remove the old paint, so as not to harm the stock itself? Being glued in,I don't want to get chemicals around the action to soften the glue. Secondly, what is a good paint to apply after the stock is preped? Any sugestions? Thanks, HogPopper.

There is a product called Zolatone that we use to finish hunting stocks. We get it from the local NAPA. It produces a hard durable coating with a low gloss pebble-like finish. I like the black-black or the Lilith charcoal best myself.
