team tractor Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Is this paint as good as they say ? I keep reading about people spraying wooden stocks with this stuff but wondered if it peels or chips ? I've thought about spraying my Brno as the timber is tired anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've painted a couple of mods with it, it covers well and gives a good finish but it scratch's off,that could be down to my prep work tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow white Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sprayed couple of mods with black board paint works well and matt finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I did a tatty old rifle stock with it some years ago and it worked fine and the finish was and still is good. It won't last like some of the professional finishes, but is good enough for my needs and it's easy enough to tidy up with another coat if and when needed.

Wasabi Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I did the metal work on a tired mossberg 500 with black spray enamel from b and q. Still looks good after a year of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I did the stock and metalwork of an Air Arms S200. I used a combination of Krylon and Halfords own brand camo spray paint. No discernible difference between them (except the price), the key is always in the prep. Spray paint will always chip and rub, so if you want a really good finish, mortgage your house and get a cerakote. Failing that, accept that the chips just add character and enjoy having the extra money in your pocket!

Castle Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) What I should have said in answer to Team Tractor's original question is that spray paint only peels when the surface is poorly prepared (oily, dusty, too smooth etc) but chips depending on handling. I did a few coats of clear, matte varnish on the rifle above and that has certainly helped but nothing is perfect.

Alpha Mule Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 I camo'd my air rifle (plastic stock) with Krylon and put a matt lacquer on top and it lasted years. Preparation is the key (pun intended ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
