Krylon web paint on stocks

[pacer97]

 I am wanting to paint my gun stock with Krylon web paint over the original black synthetic stock. I called Krylon, and they had no idea which clear coat I should use, and told me to refer to people who have already had sucess painting their gunstocks. I was wondering if anyone has had sucsess with a satin clear coat. If anyone has tried this could you please help me out with a brand and paint type, because most companies have multiple types of clear coats. Thanks, any help will be appreciated, I'd like to finish my project before the season starts.

Alan.

There is a thread on predatormastersrs forum where a guy shows step by step instructions on how to do it.  It might be worth checkign out.

I found I didn't need a clear coat with the krylon texture paint.   Here is another pic of the rifle and stock.  I like it a lot better than the feel of the injection molded stock.

I used the Krylon paints on my all my stocks.the latest one I painted with the Krylon Camo OD Green,then sprayed Black webbing and then followed it up with 2 coats of the Krylon Satin clear coat. Turned out really nice.

What is it that you are looking for? Durability or shine?

Let me know and I will give you all the details.I have painted about 50 different stocks.

Here is a picture of the latest:

 Tim;  I'm looking for durability and satin but Krylon is not sure of which of their clear satin paint are best and will not lift the web paint.
     Thanks Alan.

Alan, I have used the Krylon Satrin on many stocks and never had any problems with it. It has also not lifted or messed up the webbing at all. Put 2 or 3 coats on about 20 mintues apart from each other and you should be good to go.Hope this helps.
