I’m in the same process, have primer, gray, white, and about to spray some matte black tonight.

I’m gonna try skipping the texture for some self adhesive leather on the pistol grip and cheek weld. Not sure how long it’ll last, but a half hearted attempt at a ghetto Clymber.

Paint job turned out pretty okay.

Who's used textured spray paint to customize a rifle stock? I'd love to hear about your specific product used and the end-result (looks, feel, durability). I think I'm going to be painting a carbon stock soon and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks!

New member here. Have you or anyone ever used truck bed coating to give the stock a "textured" rubber type feel, if so, what were the results?
