@ghillie35 I would wipe down a synethic stock wearing gloves with thinners. Try a little section out of sight to see how the paint sticks with the matt finish - If all is well then do the stock as you wish.
After stripping the stock I rubbed down with 400 grain. Applied base coats and rubbed down between coats to get the grain loaded and to a point where the grain wont lift and be rough.
@LosAngelesWeedSmoker 'Bozo'? I see you have not done any vids on the subject! You are a swimming instructor that cant swim! A Marriage Counselor that has never been married. Stick to your favorite vids and what you know best, sucking the weed, bloody Cheech and Chong wannabe.
This was a natural grass patern effect (random), not a regimented system like I did the DPM Ultra.
Looks nice mate.. BUT.. ive done this before years ago to a springer tured out like yours looked awesome.. but a few weeks after using it in the field and it was full of chips/scratches.. you should have got some army scrim.. allot faster and easyier to use and works to.
I have also done simular to other items. Its not finished yet, more colours. Then many coats of matt poly to seal and protect it. I know what you mean about chips and scratches but my Webley longbow lasted very well indeed. Obviously if you drag it across rocks it will mark.
I have used scrim, but chose to do this, personal choice.
excellent vid helped me a load wen i was paintin mine cheers :)

never rush it like this bozo, tape things down take your time... prep is everything.
