Picked up a used Rem 700 KS. Looks like someone spray painted the stock a silverish green. Wnat kind of spray paint should I use to paint it?

Thanks,

JDG

Fusion is my fav.

I just did a stock for my remington 600. I used the fusion as my base. I went over it with a textured spray paint. Couple different companies make a stone type texture. I used rustoleum aged iron multicolored texture. Looks great and offers good grip without being too sharp. Flash makes the stock look more grey blue than it is. It is a nice uniform grey with some white and black speckling.

Rustoleum? C'mon guys! What is the solvent going to do to that?

Try this stuff. It works VERY well and is VERY tough and resistant to anything I have thrown at it... Hoppes, Kroil, Sweets, brake parts cleaner, etc. (I did a test on a scrap piece)

Nice selection of colors that they keep adding to as well.

Well in my case I know Hoppes doesn't affect it one bit. A little prevention when cleaning will prevent any finish issues. There is not a woodstock finish out there that won't be melted by solvents. Just be careful use a proper fitting cleaning rod guide,cover the buttstock with a plastic gallon bag and you will be fine. Also don't go spraying some kind of aerosol solvent that you don'y know where it is going to end up. Or for ultimate peace of mind remove the action from the stock when you clean it. If the rifle is properly bedded taking the action in and out of the stock is not going to cause any problems.

Epilogue: I took Kenati's advice and ordered a couple of cans of Aluma Hyde and had it in three days. Followed the directions and applied two coats - then let it hand in the sun all day. Now, I can screw-up just about any project but I managed to pull this one off with no problem. The stock looks great.

Thanks to all for the advice. As always, I sincerely appreciate your time.

Cheers,
