Nice work. Next rifle you do, use a sea sponge and also get an aluminum plate for the paint. Sea sponge works better and the aluminum plate will not absorb your paint. Sponged camo looks great
Sea sponge works much better. I have done several stocks using this method. Also try painting large sections with 2 or 3 colors then apply the camo colors. Also, painting the scope can void some manufacturer's warranty so check it out first. Good job!
I like it, but the pattern is to repeating, should have used different surfaces of the sponge to make the pattern more unique. As you look down the stock you see the same pattern.
I watched many camo paint job in TH-cam and I come up with the conclusion that using the sponge method is the one I like the most as well. I did yesterday a paint job just like you and I love it, thanks for your video bro!! Your rifle looks just fantastic !!!!!
Looks fine. I do the same to all my rifles if they aren't already painted from the factory. Mine have a majority of green in the color scheme, only because I am in Georgia, and Georgia is very, very green. If the color scheme corresponds with the most common colors of the foliage in your location, then it is good to go. Good job, fun video man.
I know this is an old video, but great job my man. Only one thing I would suggest and it's a minute detail; Your light splotches running the length of your barrel are a little conspicuous. They look almost like eyes and have almost some sort of symmetry. It's just something that would likely stand out in nature. But that's just nitpicking from an old Marine. Looks fantastic.
Honestly wasn’t sure how it would look, but the finished product is awesome. Good choice painting the cheek riser, it is a fairly big part on the stock. The main thing is that it’s what you like, great job as always.
I’ve been putting camouflage on firearms for 45 years. Less is more when it comes to camouflage. Do some research on German camouflage. The colors are great and the design is awesome. I’ve camouflaged boats,vehicles and too many to count for the military at Fort Hood. I’ve found out that most don’t want the clear coat. They want it to wear so it looks battle worn. Some like netting,sticks thrown on it,sponges or my hand drawn stencil work. Your first camouflage job looks real good. Keep forging those knives out brother.
Wonderful job Kyle. Now you "OWN" that rifle as no one else's looks the same!!! Great job and video! Can't wait to see which glass you choose and whatever is next.~
Mad skillz.....looks wicked in the end man....I just tried painting my Remington .22 semi auto stock last night and kinda messed up, but that looks easy, cool AF, and a new school cammo look!
I've tried all the methods on TH-cam on my Savages at one point or another LOL! The sponge method gives you the most control over exact color placement and in the end gives you the most professional look. I now use the "sea sponge" method on my bolt guns and even all my AR's. Definitely the way to go. If you've never tried it, it is SO easy and amazingly fun- easily repeated in the future as needed.
@@chiproark8121 I'd go by the directions on the spray can you're using. As I recall some of them say dry to the touch in 15 minutes and ready to handle after 24 hours cure. And says to repeat next coat within one hour or wait 24-48 hours. It all depends. In practice, once I got all the paint applied I'd wait about 30-45 minutes and then apply the first light coat of clear coat, then repeat that one or two times. I recommend letting the rifle stand in the open air at room temperature for at least 48 hours to let the paint cure before using, and probably about a week before I'd try any heavy use of the gun. After a week the paint and clear coat has cured to a pretty good hardened state. Hope this helps.
To be honest, I was doubtful at first,.but now that's it's done, I like it. Now I'm thinking that maybe,.if it were my rifle ( but it isn't ) I'd paint the barrel/receiver/bolt handle too. Good job!
Before clear coating, take the stock out in the sun to see the real look....if a bit too bright, then give the entire coat a light spray of either black or dark brown from 18 inches away...just a dusting to cut the brighter areas. Overall looks good!
Deadly paint job, wanted to paint my .22 mag and was going to make stencils for gap camo but after seeing how yours came out I opted for your method, mine turned out as good as yours, well done thanks for the tutorial.
awesome job and glad you are also enjoying it. you should give the whole thing a coat of grey next time when you do one then do your tan, green, brown sponge treatment. getting rid of that black really makes a difference.
It looks amazing. I had mine hydro-dipped because the ones I have painted in the past I was never happy with personally. The only thing I would say is the smallest of detail, but on the right side your tan sponge marks form a line. Those kind of throw off the rest of the rifle camo. Then again this is just my opinion. I love where your going with this rifle, and I'm excited to watch the final product come to life. I am liking these small step by step videos, it's great to always have a new video to watch! Keep up the good work my friend!
Thanks bud! I noticed the same, but in person you don't really notice it. I can always touch over it with a little brown or green and fix it. Thanks for watching!
Nice!!! I wasn't sure when I saw you first going at it with a broken sponge but... Looks awesome and is quite a forgiving method I imagine, if I have a synthetic stock in the future, will definitely be having a bash.
Looks great, I'm glad you did the bipod and cheek rest as well, it would have looked to standoutish without it. Don't wander far from it if you lean it against a tree, you'll never find it..lol
All joking aside I painted a .22 Remington Nylon 66 forty-nine years ago, as a sixteen year old kid. I was squirrel hunting with it and set it against a tree while I was picking some nearby Mulberrys. I spent TWO HOURS looking for my rifle and I walked no farther than sixty yards away! I immediately bought a sling for that rifle!!! lol
Thanks for the video. I feel inspired to do the same with my new Ruger .22 American with a black polymer stock. Yours came out so well I think I'll have to try it myself.
Probably going to do this to my Ruger American. I bought the Go Wild version just for the bronze cerakote barrel and receiver. I personally love the Strata style camo and it will match all my gear!
Excellent job Kyle! The paint job looks similar to my GAP Camo Manners Stock! Do consider a bedding job on the stock. Fairly inexpensive and yields a far more accurate rifle.
Looks good, I saw a fella do kinda a tiger stripe idea first, then went over that with the sponge with opposite colours, and that looked good as well.. Honestly, I don't think you can mess this up, anything is better than black.
Should spray the entire stock with preferred base color and then add the splotches of other paints. Also, some splotches of white look really good too. I used 000 steel wool on the finished patters after drying to smooth ridges down before applying the clear coat. Excellent job. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Kyle. Looks like you found a new hobby. Your gun looks good. There is no end of what you can do with painting your stock. Something you might want to try on the next one is using netted stockings or a piece of the corrugated tool tray liner for patterns. Enjoy your new hobby.
Haha this is far from a new hobby for me my friend. I have been shooting for years... This rifle has been in my collection 6-7 years. I just haven't bothered to alter it until now. I have seen others use the netting, and it does look neat, although not as much my style! Thanks for watching :-)
Kyle Noseworthy that’s great. Didn’t mean to offend you Kyle. I guess I assumed that due to not watching you for very long. I’ve been playing with guns for a long time as I’m getting close to being a old timer. Lol.
Looks good...I have done simulator like this...but I like to take a netting of some sort...hit with black paint gives it a scale look on top....looks good.
Kyle - Not into Guns much myself but I really enjoy how you put together your videos. It makes for a great viewing. Great job - on all videos. I'll be waiting for the next one for sure. Also love the knives. Such great craftsmanship right here at home is amazing.
The 5 spots all aligned up right down the handguard isn't random enough. They should be staggered and unevenly spaced. Use the 3 rule from design work 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3
WoW looks awesome to me you made it look easy you explain everything to a T I don't like painting anything but I believe I will give it a try Thank you for sharing..
Simple but effective. If you matched the camo with the hunting environment...good job. U might wanna try finding a natural sponge. It has a better hole pattern. Update: i just finished my stock using your method. Im impressed. Came out awesome. Idk how to share a pic
Thanks Jon! I actually looked everywhere in my area for a natural sponge, but they just aren't common anymore! So, I bought one of these terrible artificial ones, and tore it up as roughly as I could. It did okay.
Nice job. However, when you put that optic on it and with the optic and the barrel black, predators will still see it a mile away, unless you have your scope on them. I did a similar paint job on my Gamo Bone Hunter air rifle, but used smaller sponges and 5 colors on it and the barrel and optics. Looks like leaf litter! Like you said, paint it until You are pleased with it! I agree.
I would have mixed up the orientation of the sponge on the lightest color for example you have the same pattern and the same angle up the side of the rifle and it doesn’t look random it looks almost like a repeating pattern in a wallpaper other than that I think it looks good.
Looks great. Buuuut you should have sanded the stock first. That paint wont make a chemical bond so it needs a mechanical bond. But turned out great. Going to do mine in similar fashion. Thanks for the vid.
If it helps, after a BUNCH of use, dragging around in the woods, it has held up perfectly. I cant believe how durable it has been, with the matte clear coat!
Nice work. Next rifle you do, use a sea sponge and also get an aluminum plate for the paint. Sea sponge works better and the aluminum plate will not absorb your paint. Sponged camo looks great
Nice tip! Gonna try it.
Thank

Sea sponge works much better. I have done several stocks using this method. Also try painting large sections with 2 or 3 colors then apply the camo colors. Also, painting the scope can void some manufacturer's warranty so check it out first. Good job!
Looks great! As a city dweller in an apartment with minimal space seeing your shop and your tools is motivating and inspiring!
Quick! Get out of there! haha I spent years in a little apartment in the city. I know how tough it can be to work on projects... Keep working!
Love it, love it, love it. Can’t believe the difference. From a low end 308 to a heir loom. Can’t wait to see the next step.
thanks!
Loves it. Gonna try it on my mossberg.
And for those who don’t like it…
Well you can’t please them all.
I like it, but the pattern is to repeating, should have used different surfaces of the sponge to make the pattern more unique. As you look down the stock you see the same pattern.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Your presentation was perfect. I really appreciate your work here!
I painted my rifle like this after watching your video and it turned out awesome!!! Thank you
You have earned a new subscriber!

Probably one of the best painted stock I’ve seen yet, good job
Must be the only stock you seen painted😂
I usually like to do a base coat of either tan or grey just to get a better contrast but it looks awesome!
Just came in from the garage after putting on the first coat of clear. Looks just like yours, turned out amazing. Thanks man
Dude I’m so inspired. Great job! Doing this ASAP
That's so neat. Love the process used to paint the stock.
Thanks buddy! Hope you aren't offended that I painted the knobs!!
Awesome job and super easy. Thanks for the video, love the colors. Gonna pull my Ruger American out of my safe and give her a new paint job.
I know this is an old video, but great job my man. Only one thing I would suggest and it's a minute detail; Your light splotches running the length of your barrel are a little conspicuous.

That looks great. I love how broken up the sponge makes it.
Best looking camo on a rifle!!!
Honestly wasn’t sure how it would look, but the finished product is awesome. Good choice painting the cheek riser, it is a fairly big part on the stock. The main thing is that it’s what you like, great job as always.

Love it, I think I’ll paint my bike this way 🤪
man, ngl this is prob the best DIY camo finish Ive ever seen on yt!
You are the only one the rifle has to impress and it did. Good job sir!
Wasn't to sure at first but that came out great. Rifle looks sick, love it.
Thanks for the video. I painted all three of my Axis’s. They all look great. Also fabbed cheek risers for them using your video.
To be honest, I was doubtful at first,.but now that's it's done, I like it. Now I'm thinking that maybe,.if it were my rifle ( but it isn't ) I'd paint the barrel/receiver/bolt handle too.
Good job!
Thought hard on painting the barrel and action, but decided against! Maybe in the future!
@@kyle_noseworthy Yes, that`s correct, always leave an option open, good idea.

Howdee from Alberta!
Incredible job! Really like how it turned out. Reminds me a lot of True Timber Strata camo. Do another stock paint job soon!
That turned out really nice! Well done!
Looks great, gonna try this out with my axis! Thanks!
Your gun is one of the best looking on you tube.
Looks good, I saw a fella do kinda a tiger stripe idea first, then went over that with the sponge with opposite colours, and that looked good as well..
Honestly, I don't think you can mess this up, anything is better than black.
This is sick. Love it, great job.

How long after painting do you use clear coat
Looks great man, think I'm gonna try it on a couple of my compound bows. Thanks 4 taking the time to make the video
Thought you were going to ruin the riffle at first. Now I think you should patent it. Good job man!
Looks awesome. Great job
Nice job. The main thing is matching the surrounding environment colors. It's always easy to change too,if you want.
Agreed! These colors will do a fine job in our northern boreal. If I lived in a dusty southern area, I'd probably go lighter!
Hello Kyle. Looks like you found a new hobby. Your gun looks good. There is no end of what you can do with painting your stock. Something you might want to try on the next one is using netted stockings or a piece of the corrugated tool tray liner for patterns. Enjoy your new hobby.

Great job! Probably going to copy this idea with slightly different colors
Looks good...I have done simulator like this...but I like to take a netting of some sort...hit with black paint gives it a scale look on top....looks good.
I have two questions: 1) How long do you let it dry in between each colors. 2) What would be the proper approach if the rifle base color is tan?
Faaaark that looks good. Thinking of doing this to my steyr pro hunter. Great job.
...very nice job! Me personally, I would have like to seen the barrel transitioned into bronze.
I hated the thought when I read the title but you've surprised me, looks pretty good!
haha figured... While typing it I was thinking in sarcasm, "Ray is gonna' love this one" haha
Kyle - Not into Guns much myself but I really enjoy how you put together your videos. It makes for a great viewing. Great job - on all videos. I'll be waiting for the next one for sure. Also love the knives. Such great craftsmanship right here at home is amazing.
Thank you Terry! Glad you're enjoying the videos regardless!
Looks great but “it doesn’t really matter “. I love the paint and laid back attitude.
Looks nice, but i think ill spray a heavy base coat on mine before sponging, GJ man
It looks supercool. Good job Kyle
The 5 spots all aligned up right down the handguard isn't random enough. They should be staggered and unevenly spaced. Use the 3 rule from design work 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3
Very nice! Pretty much matches my favorite camouflage pattern.
Man that's actually awesome, well done!!
WoW looks awesome to me you made it look easy you explain everything to a T I don't like painting anything but I believe I will give it a try Thank you for sharing..
Duuude that looked amazing!
Nice!! Awesome job, man! 😃
It's funny, we sponge paint as kids but the concentration on our faces as adults is priceless.

Looks great. I know what my next project is going to be!
I have learned so much! Thank you for this content.
Nice work, going to do that with mine!
Does anyone else see skulls with a bullet hole when he sponges on the tan color? Looks rad IMO
I do too but I’m super baked watching this so I thought it was just me 😂
Looks great less the 3 tan sponge marks in row - almost like 3 polka dots on that R/H side.
Very nice!! Great presentation! Now I need to work up some nerve do my Savage model 64 22lr like this.
Nice job. However, when you put that optic on it and with the optic and the barrel black, predators will still see it a mile away, unless you have your scope on them.

I'm going to add soom tree leafs on mine thanks for video

I like the way tan looks. However it’s not common here in the woods. I’m thinking green brown black and maybe gray.
Nice looking 👍👍👍👍👍
I see the Blue, Yellow and Red and I hit subscribe
Turned out really well
Wow! That looks awesome Kyle!
Wow this looks awesome👍🏼👍🏼😎
How well is this holding up?
Looks amazing!! Any ideas on how to do a wetland camo look for a shotgun.
Looks Awesome!!
And I thought you were just in to knives. Nice paint job!
Looks great. Buuuut you should have sanded the stock first. That paint wont make a chemical bond so it needs a mechanical bond. But turned out great. Going to do mine in similar fashion. Thanks for the vid.
That came out great!
Kyle, check in the craft section at Walmart, a net bag with 5 small natural sponges is $3.98.....I bought 2 bags! Ha ha.
Awesome looking job I'm going to do a German Mauser 8mm jist like this Thanks for doing this video
If it helps, after a BUNCH of use, dragging around in the woods, it has held up perfectly. I cant believe how durable it has been, with the matte clear coat!
Looks great! Thanks for the video 👍🏽
Looks great!
