Hi guys, i have just bought a ruger 10/22 and had a go at refinishing the stock. Its come out well and i am pleased. However the trigger gaurd and mag release will let it down as there are some bits where the paint has rubbed off.

What can i use which is readily available to re paint it? I was thinking just car paint but then thought Humbrol model enamel paint may be better.

 

What do you think?

 

Cheers

 

Alex

Personally I wouldn't bother.Unless you're going to get it done professionally I think you'll be very disappointed with a DIY paint job and end up making it look worse.I like good,honest wear on knives,guns etc.If you insist on having a go,then airbrush it,but it will only wear off again eventually.Just my opinion.
