After straddling the fence for the most of a year about getting some hydro-dip kits for some of my rifles, I spent the money on a CCW instead. So I did some research on different ways to do camo painting on stocks and settled on the "rattle can/ sponge method". I have done 4 stocks now and I think I have it about down.
My rifle is in the middle.
Process is REALLY easy. Remove stock and tape off any area that you do not want painted after scuffing up the surface. Spray paint a base coat (OD green on top and bottom and tan on mine in the middle) and let it dry. Take another color and spray some random areas and let dry. Take the opposite colors and dab the paint onto the stock with a natural sponge for the random blotches of color to break up (tan on the OD Green and OD Green on the tan) and let dry. Followed up with Earth Brown (darker than I would have liked, but turned out nice anyway) with the sponge and let dry. Covered the whole thing with a couple coats of flat clearcoat.
