Need to refinsh one of my plastic handles -- where does one find the "splatter" type paints -- looked in Brownells but could not find any. Call me stupid but loaned out one of my rifles with a painted plastic handle -- bad mistake -- came back pretty beat up. I have not so much as chipped or scratched the finish in many years -- few weeks in the hand of a friend who cannot for the life of himself figure why I am totally pissed at him ---ARGUH!!~!!----need paint!?

I paint cars. I don't use a spray bomb aerosol can. With a spray gun just don't add any reducer and turn the fan spray control off. The technique is called 'gunning' and produces a splatter or wrinkle finish.

Thanks -- but somebody out there is selling a spray can that splatters paint

It is called "fleckstone" or "granite" or something similar depending on the brand.

I bet it will be on the spray paint top, just go to a large hardware store and glance over the tops of the spray cans and I bet you'll see a couple of textured ones.

Walmart. They carry Rustoleum and Plasti-cote textured finishes which both work very well.

It's called Krylon webbing. You can buy it at local craft stores, it comes in a 1/2 size can in gold, silver, and black.

I did a stock this year with the Fleckstown granite paint. I hunted all year out of a portable treestand, lugging that sucker back and forth looks as good as the day I did it. Nice texture, easy to hold on to but does not sand your face like Spray Grit from Brownells. If you ding it, stuff is thick enough to cover guages and pinholes.

I used flecstone on a dinged up wooden stock and liked how it turned out. Just put some sort of clear coat/sealer over it and it becomes very durable.
