I've heard you can paint a synthetic stock, does anyone know any info or tips on doing this? Thanks.

I've been considering doing this with the spray cans of bedliner you can buy...

I started a thread on it in the "manufactures" section then under "Remington"

Hope this helps...

Sorry, actually it's under "General Firearms" then under "General Rifle"

thanks for the info, I had a camo paintjob in mind, nothing to fancy.

thoroughly degrease the stock , then bomb it with whatever color krylon you feel like.

pink ?

I thought it was NRA Joe who was into the pink thing?!?

(Sorry Joe... I know I'm a little new to be "jesting," but it's all in fun, right?)

How do you degrease the stock?

A good degreaser dish detergent will work fine, and not bother the plastic. I'd avoid any petroleum-based solvents. Maybe do it when the little woman isn't home - they get persnickety about such things. :nod:
Wally Mart is selling the Krylon 'Fusion' paint for plastics. I've heard good things about it, and it comes in OD green and tan, in addition to black, all in satin finish. Should make a good camo. I'll be doing the plastic bits on my bike with it soon.
Maybe afterwards a couple coats of satin poly-clear, to protect it.

Big Dog is right that Krylon Fusion paint for plastics is good stuff.

Thanks Big Dog, that sounds pretty good
