Paint?

[DeanoBeanCounter]

Does anyone know what kind of paint will stick to a synthetic stock? I have a Stevens model 200 in 300 Win Mag I would like to paint red white and blue in camouflage pattern.
Thanks

Any high end paint/automotive finish should do OK, but rag it down 2-3 times with acetone first.
I think it's Krylon that makes spray can paint just for plastics. I'd use it before any of the enamels in a spray can.

Try the Krylon, I've used their decoy paint on a stock. It works great.

I've painted about a dozen synthetic stocks and firearms using Krylon Camo paint from Walmart.

All have turned out great and lasted many years in the woods.

Krylon indeed does. I used the flat black to paint the intake on my truck and it's holding strong

[Good Cheer]

I'd create an anchor pattern for the paint to grip.

Plus one for Krylon.
I’ve been painting hard use guns( not just AR15s) for decades using Krylon.
The first two were a Nylon 66 and a 94 Savage 12 gauge for river riding- No rust!

Jeez, a Nylon 66. I had a green one as a kid. No idea what happened to it as it was replaced by a Win 190. The amount of partridge, rabbits and woodchuck that 190 took would feed a logging camp through a winters cut

You should have kept that Seneca Green Nylon 66.
You could trade it for ten Winchester 190s now!
No disrespect for the Winchester- they are good .22s.

Thank you. I am getting pretty good at coming up with functional and attractive patterns tailored to where the firearm is going to be used.

I used to work with a guy who camoed a few guns.
He'd put down a base color, then to mask off for the design- for lack of a better word,
he'd put leaves and/or long stems of grass on the gun. Then paint that.

It surprised me, but it worked really well.
He was a Army sniper in his previous job, I figure he'd learned the technique there.
I told him more than once--- for a dogface, you aren't nearly as dumb as you look.
