| I used to see this paint every where. It comes in all kinds of crazy spider web. I now can not find it. I want it to paint an HS stock and a Basner. Has any one used it? Will it hold up to solvents? I have seen it used by body shops but they all buy in bulk. To have them do it I could get the stock done at the factory cheaper. |

| Hornetfan For what its worth, I had a friend have his truck bed done in some kind of splatter paint. This was before the spry in bed liner craze. Any way it was tuff as nails. It was done professionally at a body shop. It seems like he said it was either two parts or two steps. Not much help there, but maybe some hope. I would just call some body shops till I found someone that new what I was talking about. I also think that Brownells sells something like this? Unless you are dead set on the two tone splatter finish you might want to try Dupli-Color spray in truck bed liner. It is cheap, about $9 a can, and easy. One can will easily do two stocks. If you put the last coat on kind of sparsely it leaves a good no slip finish. Shawn |

| We used a trunk paint last year and it was durable and easy to apply but... if you got it very as in soaking wet it all came off. now we only use zolatone it works great is solvant resistant and waterproof But you have to have a paint gun especially for it Just my 2 cents worth |

| I tried to find trunk spatter paint to no avail last summer, for the same purpose. Granted, I didn't look very hard, but I wound up buying something similar at Wal-Mart in aerosol spray cans. I degreased the McMillan stock and then thoroughly sanded it with 80 grit, and primed. When the primer was thoroughly dry, I scuffed it and sprayed a couple coats of the spatter paint. After applying a couple light coats of clear, it looked great. Understand that your checkering will more than likely be covered up, but the finished product had a good non-slip feel. I've used that rifle quite a bit since, and it has held up well. I've noticed a couple places that got scratched, but touching them up was no big deal. In fact, completely removing all the finish and doing it again wouldn't be that big of a deal. By the way, those same scratches would have also marred the finish on any wood stock. When painting, allow sufficient drying time between coats. |
