Rustoleum Textured Sand / Beige has a high traction / grip feel, cool in the bright sun & looks classy too.
I think that I must try that Rust-Oleum paint I have see it in the market do you put some clear coat later o justo the textured paint?

I don't know about ideas but I do have some suggestions. Preparation is key. Make sure everything is stripped, sanded, de-greased, before breaking out the paint. Have a plan. Practice with different materials to place different patterns on different base coats. The order you do the layering for the patterns need to be thought out too. You don't need expensive stencil kits either unless you are going for a show piece. You can use onion bags, or fishnet stockings, whatever, or cut out your own patterns in paper, or even leaves and grasses. The distance you hold away, and the amount to spray varies with the product used. You dont have to do it all one way either. Some people get all caught up with using an air brush but you can also grab a brush too. I am mostly speaking to camoflage painting for concealment, of course. If you want to do a beautiful paint job, that's a whole other world that I really can't help you with but if you go over to rimfirecentral.com there are some really talented people over there who are very helpful. Practice on cheap guns and you will think better of them afterwards.

You can try Rustoleum spray paint like Motorhead suggested or if you want something more unique with a pattern you can try hydro dipping it yourself, there are a few companies that sell DIY kits, I’ve tried with a couple guns and the results were pretty good.

Good morning, JFCHARRUA & Motorhead
The two of you are using Rustoleum
Truck bed paint or regular Rustoleum?
How is the abrasion & wear resistance?
What was the prep procedure, please?
Thanks
Ed

Hi and thanks to all for the responses and ideas they all have been very helpful, in .y case I always use poliuretane paint ( the same for cars etc) in my case I apply several layers that later can be polished, and have real good resistance, now seeing the results I'm tempted to try the Rust-Oleum or even the hidro, y have done it but in small pieces, my only concern is if I don't get a satisfactory result how I removed and if this will affect the original stocks.

They make spray paint remover in a spray can right in the spray paint aisle. If you mess up it takes off the paint very quick. I have used it when I messed up and it works great.

Yes ... after a few days cure, apply a clear LACQUER which keeps the texture intact but adds high durability and easy cleaning of the surface. Bit of shine too.

I've fooled with Truck Bed spray & while it too gives a high grip surface, it is IMO more easily damaged than a HARD paint due to it remaining soft & supple.
The Rustoleum TEXTURED paint is this product https://www.rustoleum.com/~/media/DigitalEncyclopedia/Product/RustoleumUSA/CBG/stops-rust/textured/7222830_1212_SRT_12oz_Textured_ForestGreen.ashx
Prep is simply scrubbing down the stock with a SCOTCH BRIGHT PAD so it has a uniform haze of the finish on the stock being no longer shiny anywhere.
Wipe down with denatured alcohol and PAINT !

I appreciate the warning about the soft finish of truck bed liner
Thanks too, for the Rustoleum link, and prep instructions
Like many instructions that seem so simple I'd bet that utmost attention to detail is the key to a good prep
Ed
PS
Is it really a lacquer finish coat, or perhaps a transparent coating of the same chemistry as the paint?

My painted AA 400MPR. I bought it painted. I can see a line in the wrist and have a feeling the stock was broken and repaired so it was painted. Paintwork looks like it was done by a pro.

Love that paint !!!!

Automotive paint, for interior plastics such as the dash and console. Used all the prep products such as adhesion promoters, etc.
