groach1234 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Right i am getting a bit bored of my plane wooden stock on my CZ 452 hmr left handed now i dont really fancy stumping up a few hundred pounds for a synthetic stock as i don't think it is needed for the rifle but i like the look of the sort of nato green synthetic stocks. Is it possible to spray my wooden stock with nato green paint? if i did would it ruin the checkering? also has anyone tried this? and how did you do it and what did you think of the results?

Ozzy Fudd Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 sprayed a 10/22 stock lately, matt black. looks ok, just make sure you varnich it well afetrwards (i used yacht varnish), makes it a bit more durable but its not invulnerable, scraped on a gate/stone, etc, and youll have big scratches in it dont know about checkering, id assume if you used a thin enough coat of paint youd still be able to see it but the varnish would defo cover it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez325 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I would stear clear of Varnish- make them look tacky in my opinion- after painting with Nato green _ why not spray over with a MATTE or SATIN laquer- no shine then a proper tactical hunting tool why paint it MATT and then add a shiney varnish? defeates the object somewhat Les Edited April 1, 2010 by Lez325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 After painting it, apply a few coats of Tru Oil. It sets to a hard finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron airgunner Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 talk to carbonrocket on here or look at his channel on youtube. it shows how to prepare a wooden stock for painting, prime it and then paint it and finish it with clear matte stuff. looks great in the end.
