[QUOTE="Cannonball1, post: 5677738, member: 23767"] I used craft sponges from Walmart. They were in the hobby section. I also used Rust-Oleum camo paint in black, army green and sand. I washed the stock down with dawn and hot water, then lightly scratched it up with a green Scotch Brite. I used denatured alcohol for a final wipe down and taped off the inside of the stock where I didn’t want any paint. I used the flat black as my base and did three coatings of that. After it was good and dry, I sponged on the green and sand. I just sprayed those two colors on some small paper plates and lightly dipped the sponge in the paint. You will need some cardboard to blot the sponges each time you dip them, they will have too much paint on them to apply directly to the stock without it being a big blob of paint. I would practice on some cardboard first, it just takes a very light touch after most of the paint is blotted off the sponge. The color you want to show up best needs to be applied last. After you get the colors on, let it dry for 2-3 days. Then apply a matte clear coat that works on plastics. I used about five VERY thin coats of the clear on mine. I put a picture of the paint and sponges below, good luck and let me know how it turns out. [ATTACH type="full"]187862[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]187863[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
