Some pretty fine work there 1899. Looks like you have had some practice at it.

Although I am a fan of wood myself I still appreciate a guy that does his own work on stuff.. Well done.

Endura is an awesome tough plasticy paint.  My Father painted everything from our vehicles to his boats and airplanes with it.  Very hardy for sure.  The truck manufacturing company i work for uses Endura exclusivley for the Vac trucks and winch trucks we build.  Good stuff for sure....

Its Krylon webbing paint.  The base coat is always Krylon Fusion which is a paint that binds to plastic like no other.   Then i do a coat with the webbing paint.  Then 4 or 5 coats of Krylon Matte Clear Coat for a hard scratch resistant shell.   I have flipped alot of rifles and the buyers think they are factory jobs at times......

Would that stuff work on a wood stock?

I've got a beat up SKS that I wouldn't mind experimenting on.

you bet Sonny.  The Cooey single shot in tan  and that Cooey .22 semi with matching scope are both wood stocks above.  Just need a decent base coat and have at er....
