Thread: Stock refinishing

For the past few years I have been putting together a 308NM rifle. Finished said rifle a while back and fitted it to a quality custom fibreglass stock that was finished in black. Not liking the somewhat shiny plain black finish I sanded it back a bit and painted it with a Dulux rattle can, that stone look 3 colour stuff. All was good until I had it out hunting a couple of times over the Xmas break and bugger me my nice looking stock has areas where the finish has worn back to the black again. Looking for advice as to how to make the rattle can finish more durable - do I sand the stock first with a coarser sandpaper to give it something to stick to? do I need to use a fibreglass specific undercoat or primer first? do I lacquer over the finish with a matt lacquer?
