Believe it or not, KY works the best.  Except you have to put it back where it belongs real quick so people don't ask what you're doing with it in the garage.

I would just tell them I have my hobbies.

Fireman - I know what you mean about rust on the barrel.  On the barrel cockers that I use the most I have sleeved the barrels with black vinyl tubing.  I heat the tubing  in a pan of boiling water so it will stretch and gook up the barrel with lubricant.  Believe it or not, KY works the best.  Except you have to put it back where it belongs real quick so people don't ask what you're doing with it in the garage.

Explain exactly where it belongs?

Looking good Austin.
 Brett how does the paint hold up? I just might try that on one of my QB's. My complaint is the wood is very soft and will dent just laying it on a pellet.

Sorry Don that it took so long to respond.  The spray bed liner from a can (Duplicolor) has held up well.  We don't beat on our guns or hunt so they may get treated better than some but no problems at all with any chipping or scratches.  For prep, I sanded the gloss off of the original finish and sprayed right over it, that's all.  It's pretty tough stuff.  HTH

I have seen some amazing stuff here in this thread. No less than 4 stocks would I be proud to own. Alas I do not have the talent or $$ to have them done to my rifles. Keep them coming so I can dream. I just might hit the lottery.

Great jobs on the stocks everyone, with innovative ideas and different use of mediums!

Adin - Why have you been hiding that talent of yours from us?  Just love the bear.

Not sure why I never mentioned it but i have done at least 15 wood stocks. Some portraits of people some animals. I can do any design no matter what it is and I'm not charging arm and leg for the wood burning/ Pyrography work.
Thank you!

If you want a finer texture,  try the bedliner from Rustoleum. I used it on my airhawk, and it's held up just fine. I hunt with my guns, so, they get bumped around a bit. You have to hold the can back about 18" from the piece, to achieve the best effect. I have pics of it, somewhere in the china airgun gate, if you feel like digging for them.
It also seems to be a harder finish than some of the other brands, that I've tried.

Hey guys, I just gave my Benjie 392 a custom paint job. Maybe some of ya'll have done up your shooters with some of your own paint, i'd love for anyone who's got custom paint to show it off with pride!

I do Custom Pyrography. (Woodburning on wood stock)

Cool stuff.

If I ever get my $$$ situation together I will be dropping someone an email.

Just did my son's Crosman 760, he wanted it more military.  I think it came out pretty decent for my first attempt painting a gun.

I posted this when I originally joined a couple months ago, but I'll share it again. 

This is my childhood Crosman 766 (Phase 2) that I cleaned-up and painted.  The black has started coming off of the forend though, so I'm going to have to redo it.  Looks so much better now than with the old wood-grain plastic butt stock and black receiver/barrel.

Not very well done- my first attempt at a camo paint job.  Old project.  Just wanted to post.
