Stock Painting
- Thread starter Riesel
- Start date
I've used xoticcolours.com exclusively......epoxy primers, clears, jammin' clears, and pearls for marble effect stock painting.
If your not a pro talk to Shannon he'll set you up with everything you need.
Very easy to use......I was a novice, used automotive clears on stocks before, but no pearls and marbling..........marble effect turned out perfect. They have a very detailed Product Application Directions Booklet...........I just follow it.

I worked on motorcycle tins as a serious hobby for a few years.
House of Kolor is awesome. I would recommend it highly. However the Sherwin Williams stuff is stunning but back then it was only sold in cans bigger than I could use. If that has changed, it may be worth looking into. Their candies were seriously beautiful.

I used this paint (https://autopainthq.com/) to do the stock below. It comes in kits and has everything that is need to do the job. Strainers, mixing cups, stir sticks etc. With the clear that came with the kit I cleared 4 stocks. I have plenty of color and base yet. I talked to the guy that runs it and he said he would sell individual qts since I already bought a kit. Nice people and the paints jobs turned our really nice. If you enlarge the pictures you can see the reflection of the clouds in the sky.
This is gunnermhr's rifle.
This is my new 12lb dasher for the 1000 Yard Benchrest silhouette matches. My Good friend at CRS Custom Rifle Stocks in Aaronsburg, PA made and painted the stock. I'ts similar to a Tooley MBR with a few modifications. It still supported on a 3" forearm and is full length. Hard to imagine it still makes weight with a wood stock and a 36 power Leopold. Crossed the scale at 11.7lbs
Bat B RBLPRE Action, 6 Dasher, .269" Neck. This gun hammers with 105 Berger Hybrids.
The paint is Candy apple green, the forearm has a white base-coat, center section is gray base coat and the buttstock is black base coat, all covered with 5 coats of clear. It's the new pride of the fleet as it shoots as good as it looks.

Not trying to start anything just letting people know that Auto Paint shipping was free. I have got paint from other places and the shipping was high.

jghoghunter, interesting how you used different base coats to control the shade of green. I'm planning on using several coats of Candy Coat Purple and lay more paint on the stock and less on the forearm. I have a silver base coat down now and I guess we will see how this whole thing looks after the clear coat dries. I plan to wet sand the clear and then buff.
I check with the automotive stores and the closest they get to transparent paint might be in rattle cans.
Some stores carry "Dupli-Color" brand in Candy red, green yellow, no purple. Bought a quart of purple and reducer from Custom Paints Inc. I think if I'm patient and careful I can make this work.
