Gun Paint

[ksteed17]

I have a mossberg 20 ga that i want to paint the stock on it. Its a synthetic stock that i would probably just paint black. Whats the best product and best way to do this?

[ishootbambi]

i have done it. i havent found a paint yet that doesnt wear off from use, but th best i have found is called "wrinkle paint". you can find it at an auto parts store as it is made for painting plastic bumpers on cars. it goes on smooth and creates a wrinkly finish as it dries. like any paint, sand first, and apply in a few light coats. ill try and get you a picture of the finished product. i have done it 3 times now to the same gun. where it rubs my hip when i have it slung over my shoulder, it will rub off the paint in a couple of seasons, and it is due again. the first paints i tried lasted less than one full season. this is my son's gun now by the way.

Automotive paint is the best. Endura is what many professionals use and it produces a very tough durable finish.

Brownells Aluma Hyde II works good. Only catch is you will have to ship to the border and go and pick it up.

Check out my thread in the Sponsor's Forum.

This is the same materials that the pros use. The difference is that you do it yourself at home.

Perfect! LOL

That's one ugly stock. I'd consider giving it a camo dip. One of the sponsors on this board is in that business. I checked their site... interesting.

AG Products,

Your product looks very good! The only concern that I have is the ease of application?
can you give us some insight on how the camo dip is applied?
What kind of surface prep is required?

Thanks,

TK

I will do so gladly.

For synthetic stocks you have to clean off the field grunge.
Do so with the supplied scratching pad and wash with a dish soap and rinse until all soap residue is gone. For metal parts remove gun oil, etc with a solvent such as acetone.

Let dry and spray on the CPO primer which is supplied in the kit. For metal parts you must buy a self etching metal primer from CT.

Let the primer dry for about an hour then spray on a few light coats rather than one heavy coat of the base coat.

Let dry.

The picking of the dipping container and the cutting of the film is the most critical part of the step. Too small or shallow and there wont be enough film to cover the part. Too big and the film spreads out too much and you lose the detail.
Pick the dipping container for the size of part you are dipping so that there is enough room for the film to wrap around the part. And is deep enough for the part.
Cut the film so that there is about a 1/2" to 1" space all the way around it to the sides of the dipping container.

Using masking tape. Tape off all the way around the film and cut every 3" or so through the tape out to the edge of the film.

Fill the container up with 70 to 80 F water. Not so full that it over flows when you put the part in.

Place the film on the water and let sit for 60 seconds.

Then spray the film with the activator. Let it sit for 20 seconds.

Then dip your part at about a 30 degree angle into the film and slowly lower the part at this angle through the dipping process.

Rinse of the part of all film residue. You will know when it is all gone when the part is no longer shiny.

Let it dry and spray on the clear top coat. Use as many light coats as you want. Do not put it on too heavy or the top coat will become glossy.

Let the part sit over night before handling too much.

It reaches its full field hardness in about a week depending on drying conditions.

If you want take a look at my website. There are two videos that show what is included in the kit.
The first video shows what is in the kit plus how to prepare your part. The second video show dipping of various pieces. At around 6:30 the fellow dips his gun stock.

Here is the 8 step process for download. Save the file then print it or you will just get a small part of the file rather than the whole picture.

If you have any other questions let me know.

Oh and I forgot to mention.


If your part was previously dipped all you need to do is scratch the coating that is there and start off right away with the base coat. Then follow the rest of the steps.

You can also dip wood stocks with this as well. It is a little more involved but it can be done.

The picture on my website shows a wood stock that I did for a friend.

Aaron

ya im excited to see how it turns out, and hes right here in raymond.

[ram crazy]

I have used Krylon Fusion paint and it has worked very well for me!!

I will be trying the dip kit.

I had some concerns about the difficulty of doing a shotgun sock. I thought that the 3 dimensional quality of the stock would be problematic to coat.

After watching the video, it is quite apperant that this is a very easy coating to apply.

Hopefully I can post a full review in a couple of weeks.

Tangokilo,

If you have an questions about the kit and the process do not hesitate to contact myself.

I have "tried" almost everything with the kits to see what would happen. So basically did not follow the directions to see what the result would be.

Aaron

I have several cans of Krylon Webbing paint if anyone is interested. White, black, gold and silver.
