i know there is some threads on here that explained how to custom paint a gun.but i was wondering if i could get any help on exactly how to paint one. any help will be great! i just wana know what kind of paint to use. how many coats. do i need to sand the stock if its synthetic, or wood. do i need to sand the scope or just clean it. do i need to clear coat it, or just leave it. any help would be appreciated. i wana practice first with a lil synthetic marlin 22 i have. and my cousin is going to practices on a lil wood stock 22 he has. we want to attempt it tonight. please help. thanks in advance
 
Google Dura coat that will take you to Laurer Custom they sell a kit with a Video that gives full instructions. Or you can Krylon it first dissassemble the rifle wipe the whole thing down with mineral spirits Use a base coat first then follow with other colors as needed if cammoing the rifle or two or three light coats if one color clear coat is always good as a sealer use a matte clear and make sure it is compatable with the base paint your useing. That is the high and low end of painting a firearm your self. Personally I would go the Dura coat route since Laurer sell a complete "kit" with the paint and stencils and instructions all you have to add is a air brush, 15 bucks, and an air supply. and I think the clear coat is extra you can do two rifles for less than a hundred bucks in the patteren of your choice.
