synthetic stock redo
 

Recently on this forum, I think, someone was asking how to clean up a black synthetic stock. IIRC, a cleaning solvent had discolored the stock and the OP was looking to clean the area up and repaint? it. I failed to to bookmark that thread.
I recently acquired a rifle that has similar stock damage.
Can anyone point me to that thread or offer any suggestions?

TIA

I did a DIY camo paint job on one of my rifles.it's actually quite easy and doesn't cost much to do.

Thanks. That looks real good.
Actually I want to keep my stock black and repair/cover the cosmetic damaged area apparently done by a cleaning fluid. I suppose I'll have to clean/paint the entire stock and am looking for information on how to clean, prep, paint products to use, etc.

I just cleaned mine with soap and hot water,then after it dried i went over it with alcohol. mask off areas you don't want painted,apply 2-3 coats of primer. let it dry over night, then apply paint color of choice.Krylon and rustoleum both have paint that works great on synthetic stocks.

Looks good, builder. Did you put some kind of matte finish on the barrel as well? Maybe that's stock- I cant tell.

i used a flat clear by Valspar on the stock. the barrel bluing is what knight put on the wolverines and it's dull.

For me a MLer and it's Camo Paint Job looks Good! but I doubt any animal has a clue how nice it looks or does'nt as the bullet is passing through him. Stuff wears out but as long as the Mler still does it's job that's all that matters. My MLer's are tools made to do a job, I'll take preformance and Bulls Eye's any day over Good Looks.
I have a buddy who has a TC Encore with a Walnut Stock, he never uses it when it's snowing or raining out, and is so afraid to scratch it that he'd rather just look at it than use it. To me his MLer is crying to be used insted of Loved.
My MLers go through it all, snow, rain, brush and briars, they look used and some absued, but they do ther job and love to be out Hunting.
A Factory Paint Job will always look better and last longer than any paint job you apply to your Mler, your's may look good for awhile but soon it will be right back to looking what it used to look like but even worse, I've been there. The MLer Manufactures have way better equiptment to apply the paint process then any of us will ever have, if you need a New Looking Stock then buy a new one.
Now dont get me wrong, I try and keep all My MLer's looking as new as possible and like there factory look, but after use it'll happen, there's no stopping it.

Breech, M/L company's apply film to there camo rifles and when it chips or wears you SOL as they say. when there painted you can touch any imperfection up and make it look like new again.i wear camo clothing when hunting, as most folks do and prefer a camo rifle also.My Triumph is up for a DIY camo paint job next.the plain black stock looks like #%&*! to each there own as they say :s2:

:popcorn:............

(Sabotloader) has a place where he sends his stocks to be repainted and they look great. Mabey PM him and get the address of who does it. He had a Thread on here a while back with some pics of them redone, mabey you can find it.
