The camo Stock

[Prophet of Coyote Death]

Hey fellas,

I've read the article on how one is to go about making the rifle stock camo at home.

I have a question about starting.

My rifle has the old black synthetic stock on it right now. I was wondering if the basic black synthetic stock needs to be sanded down.

As i understand there is no paint on this stock. I just need to know if i have to sand or can i just start the painting process after the stock has been cleaned of any oil and dirt.

Thanks,
Joe

P.S. I got antelope season the first of October so hurry with those answers!

If it's real slick, I would go ahead and knock off the shine with some fine sandpaper. Otherwise, follow the instructions on the Tech section of this board and go for it!

If it is old black synthetic like you said, sand it.
