I have a semi-auto Marlin Glenfield that has a birch stock. I have stripped and sealed the wood with Tru-Oil based on advice from an old timer gun shop owner. I spray painted the stock with oil-based outdoor enamel made for wood, metal, etc. I asked the old timer about how to protect the paint, what to coat it with...and he said, "It is paint. If it gets a scratch simply touch it up." However, it seems that if I start carrying this in the woods the paint might wear through fast. Is there some sort of clear coat to seal the paint. Will Tru-Oil work or make mud of the paint? Note FWIW...if a nicely pristine finished stock is a Tuxedo stock then my stock should be a Blue Jeans stock. This is a used gun that is 30 years old and I want a rather simple, rustic look. I think the paint job in flat black looks cool but afraid it will wear prematurely without sealant. Thanks much.
