Title: How to paint a SAVAGE AXIS stock
Post by: Dan-o on August 26, 2014, 07:28:10 PM: So, I just got my daughter a youth sized Savage Axis in 7MM-08 or her 14th birthday. She's pretty pumped.

She'd be even more pumped if I painted the stock in some pink camo pattern.......

How do I go about figuring our how to make paint stick to this plastic stock?

Kind of paint?

Stock prep?

What else?

I think I know how to make stencils for a good camo pattern, but how to make paint stick and look good?????

Opinions or advice are most welcome.

Thanks!!

Dan
