It was looking a little used, maybe slightly abused. It had a few scratches and dings, like a good "working gun" should. I found some textured paint that looked fitting at Walmart and I had a used 870 recoil pad (split the laminate stock, have a new synthetic on order
). I sanded the stock to match the 870 pad, 3 coats of gray primer, 4 lights coats of textured paint, and 6 coats of matte clear. I think it turned out pretty well, the color looks "off" a bit.
25 1/5" 20 ga Modified barrel on, I also have the original 410 full barrel, it gets the most use.
Here's the paint
