Default RE: Camo-paint for rifle stock?

A light steel wooling will give the paint something to adhear to.Krylon gets the best marks for lasting but rustoleum was all I could find.Some guys swear by the rubberized black paint you can buy and claim it wears better.All camo paint jobs will scratch and wear when used for hunting so a recoat every two years or so are in order.Get three or four flat camo colors you want to use and spray the stock all over with the lightest color first(sand or tan)then splotch with dark green light green and brown.Now take a leaf or a plastic fern out of a flower arrangement and hold over different spots and shadow with flat black.This will give you a professional looking shadowed camo finish.Look for varmint als or camo jacks web pages for instructions and pics of finished stocks.Right before you paint wipe the stock down with alcohol to remove any oils or hand prints.Good Painting!
