I've acquired a new-to-me custom rifle based on a pre-64 Winchester that appears to have an MPI stock on it. While I hunt for the unicorn Pacific Research stock for it, I'd like to find someone (not me) to paint it with a textured paint that will afford a better grip than the slick MPI stock. I've had McMillan stocks custom painted, but don't recall ever seeing anyone who advertised a paint texture that roughed up the fiberglass shell. Suggestions? thanks

You might try one of the stone finishes. Take a look at this thread for info.

Wrinkle paint; I have used it but forgot where I got it. Brownells or wal mart probably. It goes on smooth and turns wrinkled after one minute. I use it on WW2 Voltage Regulators. Correct finish for those.

The stone finishes work well, I have a couple done with that. You can also tape the wrist and forearm off and use epoxy mixed with sand. Spread it on and let it cure. Not a lot of sand, just enough to get the texture you want.

Once cured, paint the stock whatever color you want.

Rust-Oleum makes a textured aerosol paint that works very well, comes in a variety of colors, #223526
Deep Forest is a dark green color that looks great, hides a lot of surface imperfections, find at Home Depot, etc.

After it cures it is relatively fragile, spray with a
couple of coats of matte clear poly, still plenty of grip
and wears like iron, cheap, easy to do.

if you want function over looks,
bed liner

tape off the inletting, wipe it down with acetone, hang it from a sling stud, spray it, let it dry ... for final touches, some krylon fussion green and brown ...
