Welcome to the forum.
I don't normally care for camo stocks but you make me reconsider. Those are some good looking stocks. I think you can make it big time doing this.
Do you do any in green/brown? Are the stocks shown synthetic? Can/Have you done wood? If you do this for others, please PM me with prices and such. I have an M1 Carbine stock that maybe you could rejuvenate.

I'd left me hello,welocme and compliment in you introduction post so hete I'll ask this. lol

I was wondering what material/s and or paint you use and like NRAJOE, how long does it hold up and do you do work for other people or just on your own and if for others also, do you guaranty the work and if so, for how long?

They are holding up nicely. I mean I dont purposely abuse them, smash them on rocks, drag them across the concrete and stuff but trecking through twigs and briars shouldnt be a problem. I do this by myself. The paint itself holds to the stock nicely but then I clear coat it 8+ times with acrylic clear coat for extra protection. I have only been doing this for about 2-3 weeks and the people who have already bought stocks from me have sent and or are sending me their other stocks to do. I honestly feel they will hold up just as good as any other finished stock bought. If you accidentally hit a sharp edged rock or bang it hard climbing up your deer stand or blind with a wood stock or a painted synthetic stock it will obviously suffer some kind of damage be it a scratch or dent, ding, mar etc. I will say this, the finish is NOT laquer thinner or paint solvent friendly. I will guarantee my work provided the stock has NOT been ran over, drug along a dirt road by a car, truck 4 wheeler and it has not been put through purposeful unconventional hell. I honestly feel normal hunting/shooting range use and variations in weather be it cold, warm, rainy, snowy wont injure the stock in any way.
