Painting a Rifle or Stock
If you rifle is bedded I would tell you to leave it in the stock to do the paint job .
First off clean your rifle, use alcohol remove any oil /grease.
I use egg crate foam in the auctions I just stuff it in there good, on scopes or any other part that you don't want painted mask them off with masking tape.
Use a primer coat your paint will stick better and last longer either Red or Gray primer.
I choose not to use a flat black paint I have done rifles before and to me it creates a dark spot or spots.
On paints I use Krylon Cammo System spray cans you can pick it up at any Walmart store I use Khaki , Olive drab , and brown & Krylon flat Almond , these paints are tough you get a good non glare finish , if I want to further seal the paint I use Testors Dull coat or Krylon matte finish its at Walmart also . I use either a stencil that has leaves and flowers that you can get at Walmarts toy department for kids or I use natural leafs and twigs , the best result so far is clipping from a evergreen tree . Krylon also sells a cammo pack that comes in a box with stencils .
Once the rifle is ready after the primer coat I paint the whole rifle Khaki or Almond. if you want the Mossy Oak look use the Almond as the base .
Then I get the evergreen clipping and I use the Olive drab I paint the whole rifle using the clippings as I see fit , then I use the brown the same way after I am done if I have any too dark of spots are any paint has ran I go back and use the Khaki with the clippings and paint over it until I am satisfied . you want to go from lighter to darker colors each one is like a layer , there's nothing magic about doing this its just a thing that each time you do it you get better at it believe me ive done a bunch now .
if you don't have a old stock to practice on use a 2x4 a couple of feet long you will see how it all comes together .
