Painting remington factory tupperware stock
« on: December 13, 2008, 04:48:02 PM »
Wanted to "dress up" the look of the plastic stock on my model 7.  Does anyone have experience as to how the stock will take krylon paint?  How will it wear?

I've used the Rustoleum fine textured flat black. Works for Me. I think that it was posted before to make sure it is cleaned very well and to put it in a vehicle on a hot day to bake it on. You could also have someone do a Prof. job, there are a lot of people out there, but the price costs more than the stock is worth.

I use the krylon ultra flat camo on hunting rifles. The stocks have worn well. The best test is a houge overmolded stock that has not flaked with hard use. Neither have the recoil pads. These are totally painted, not just the stock.
 Just be sure to wipe down with mineral spirits first. I did not sand for prep. For more durability sand  then paint.

I like to rub on a coat of satin polurethane with a clean rag as a base coat and then paint the stock with flat colors from Rustoleum (enamel). Then I rub on another coat of plyurethane. This makes for a tough finish that works equally well on steel. My prep is usually sand anything off the stock you don't like then rub it down with alcohol a couple of times. Make sure everything is dry before you recoat. I don't care for Krylon at all.

I have painted several stocks with the Krylon Fusion with great results. Below is a picture of one I painted with camo Fusion paint. Dale
