Savage A22 DIY stock paint

[Allen-samsal19]

So just picked up a new savage a22 provarmit .22LR. This one has the Boyd’s provarmit stock on it. This won’t be anything fancy just a plinker I’m putting an athlon Argos on it. Anyways I cannot stand the stock finish! It’s like they forgot a step. So was wondering if anyone has any tips to painting the stock? Dos or dont as far as paint or anything? Already have a good idea of what I want to do just thought I’d ask the rokslide before I start.... pics would help!

Main thing is strip it or de-grease it properly and do multiple coats rather than one or two thick coats. I dipped mine using spray paint...did two thin base coats letting dry 24 hrs in between then dipped it. Then a nice clear coat to protect it.

I personally didn't clear coat it and it held up great bouncing around in the truck and getting drug around yote hunting this winter an prairie doggin this summer.

Spray painting a stock is easy. Clean it, tape it, spray it.

If its wood I would suggest using a primer first.

I recently did a savage tuperware stock and think it turned out great. Like others had said I cleaned the stock to remove any grease, oils, dirt. Taped off the inside of the stock and swivel studs, and removed the butt pad. Then I put on a coat of self etching primer and let dry. Then I came back with 2 coats of a textured spray paint and let dry in between coats. Followed by 2 coats of poly to hopefully provide some durability. I think it turned out great for my 1st stock.
