Once you bling up the wood on this rifle what do you plan on doing with the sand blasted dull finish of the stainless steel? I don't get why you are doingit personally. It's like having chrome wheels on your camo hunting 4 wheeler.

I hope you stripped that wood stock down to bare woodbefore you started spraying it with canned enamel. If not, plan on doing it again in the nearfuturewhen the new finish starts to peel because of the oils that are imbeded in the wood from being wrapped in plasticin that box with all of the factorypacking oils and grease and from simply being handled.

Don't use steel wool. It breaks off an imbeds itself into the finish and woodand any little wool fibers not removed can rust and completely ruin an otherwise good finish. Use 400 - 600 grit automotive wet / drysand paper that they use for sanding between coats on automotive finishes.
