The selector cut out on the stock was already filled in with JB Weld, but I smoothed it over with some glazing putty.I then lightly sanded the entire, being careful around the checked hand grip areas.After sanding, I went over the stock with a Scotchbright pad.After cleaning all the dust off of the stock, I cleaned it with Acetone, then wiped it down with Isoprohyl Alcohol.When I did the final cleaning with the Acetone and Alcohol, I wore surgical gloves so I wouldn't get any greasy finger prints on the stock.I taped off the front barrel band and sling swivel, and cut out two pieces of cardboard to fit in the top and bottom of the receiver opening.I hung the stock by inserting a clothes hanger through the bottom cleaning kit compartment in the rear of the stock.The end of the clothes hanger poked out were the rear sling mount goes into the stock, so I took some needlenose pliers and bent the end enough so that it didn't pull out of the stock.
I used grey fiberglass primer(the red primer shows through too much if you happen to chip the finish).I did 5 coats of primer and let it cure for 12 hours.Did the same for the base coat of Khaki.After the base coat dried, I used cut out templates form the camo pattern.I held them away from the stock so I got a fuzzy edge on the pattern(I didn't want sharp edges on the pattern).
After the pattern was dry, the Khaki base coat looked a little too bright, so a gave the entire stock a light spary of brown to make it look dirty.
The colors used were:
Krylon Camo System Paint in Khaki(base coat), Brown, and Krylon red primer(both for the pattern).
I let the paint cure for week before shooting.I did this with one of my bolt guns and the finish seems to be really durable.
