Paint A Synthetic Stock

Guns such as this one include synthetic stocks that can be customized.


Be sure to remove any ridges where the molded synthetic stock may be fused together.2. Mix the epoxy primer, apply in a thin coat to the stock and let it dry. Apply a second and third coat per primer instructions, lightly sanding the primer smooth between layers. Carefully prepare it to be painted to give the best possible finished look to your gun.


Instructions


1. Disassemble the stock from the gun per manufacturer's instructions. Mask off the butt plate and the bedding area for the gun on the stock. Apply the surface filler into all scratches and imperfections. Allow this to dry completely before sanding the stock smooth.Most guns nowadays gain either a wood or synthetic stock. A synthetic stock on a gun has its advantages and disadvantages. While it is cheaper and more durable than a wooden stock, it may not look as nice and may be harder to refinish when the time comes. Disassemble the gun before refinishing your synthetic stock with a good primer, paint and a clear coat.


Allow each coat of primer to completely cure before proceeding.


3. Apply a thin base coat of paint to the stock. Again, allow it to dry per manufacturer's directions before sanding smooth for the next coat. Apply two smooth coats and allow the paint to dry completely.


4. Apply the automotive clear coat to the stock. Allow it to dry, lightly sand and apply more coats as instructed by the manufacturer. The more smooth coats you apply, the longer the finish will last.
