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.

I did one stock with this style of paint. Within one season it was completely wearing off.

Goal was to turn the Savage Axis factory matte black stock into a useable component, mostly just to gain experience. If I completely screwed up I could just throw it away and replace with one from Boyd’s. Axis II with Matte black stock was $303 online (30% off MSRP from Savage for select...

Textured spray paint is all I use anymore for stocks. Whether it's sprayed on or sponged on. I can find the Rust-o-leum textured paint in any Wal-Mart and most hardware stores. Provides a perfect grip on a hunting rifle, holds up well and looks great.

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?

Not me. I did a thread on the process I used, which worked well: https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/tikka-makeover.330162/

Rustoleum sand texture, OD green Krylon, and matte clear coat on my Tikka .308. Has held up great. The rifle has been in an aftermarket stock as well, but I’m back to the factory stock for now.
