Textured Spray Paint on a Rifle Stock

[Dougfirtree]

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!

I used some textured paint and then some dull light od green on an old JC Higgins 51 FN Mauser and it turned out very nice. Nice enough, people at the range were coming over to look at the "new" gun. Seems to be adhering very well. Now taking that front sight off was the hard part. Its your rifle, do as you wish.

Nice. Got any pictures? How would you describe the texture you ended up with?

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.

I have. Some of the textures don’t hold up very well at all. Some hold up very well. Rust oleum has a sand textured paint that holds up very well, I can take a picture of it when I get home. I also tried a different stone texture last year, and it didn’t even last a full season.

As a new member, I can't start a thread yet but I have a question about stock finishing. Has anyone repaired holes in a synthetic stock? I have a savage striker pistol from the 90s that I had a few holes drilled in to fit my wheelchair gun mount at the time. I was looking to actually sell the pistol but you can't buy replacement stocks anymore. I want to fill the small holes made in the original stock, but not sure how to do it or if it can be done. I should say they are cosmetic and not structural.
