Pretty sure they can be painted. I believe they have a urethane paint over a fiberglass lay-up (i.e., not tupperware). There used to be some guys advertizing on the net painting stocks. Google it.

I used a spray can of the green Rustoleum Multi-Colored Textured on mine. Gave it some grip compared to the original Kimber paint. Has held up to fairly rough use as well.

Jordan, I have used Cas11 on a few rifle stocks. He is very reasonable, does an excellent job, and is prompt. The web address you posted is for Charley and you can't go wrong. Butch
I did one for a friend a couple of years back. There is no problem with painting them, with one exception that I experienced. With the example I worked on the original factory gray paint did not have a good bond to the stock base underneath it. It tended to flake off easily.
I went over the entire stock with a coarse "tuffy" pad to remove as much poorly bonded paint as possible before spraying my base coat. I was surprise by how much of the original paint came off. Best of luck with it!
Yup. I have two of them and painted them with an epoxy spray paint from Forrest paints. It's a exterior deck paint with a sand mixed in for grip. Works great! Used a grey and black and came out looking like a chunk of granite. I use them a lot and it's been about 2 years with no wear whatever. I imagine it would have to be ground off, but easy to just repaint right over the old, if you wanted to change the look.
