Found some old rubberized car bumper paint and tried it on a plastic collapsible stock. It gave it a nice look, very close to the rubber coated aluminum Colt stock. Seems to be real tuff stuff. I need to put one more coat on it as soon as the weather clears.
Top carbine has a real colt stock.

I wonder how that stuff would work for "nekkid" sling swivels that were once rubber coated?

Very interesting! How's that stuff feel against your face? It doesn't actually have a rubbery feel, does it?

Interesting. Here's the web page:
http://duplicolor.com/products/bumperCoating/ You can get it in AutoZone stores or from their website, or from Summit Racing and probably other auto-stuff sellers. |

It doesn't look quite as "shiny". Does it have the same slick smooth texture?

I think its almost empty. Gloves are a must as the stuff doesn't was off very well. I should have it done this weekend and will post new pics. |

I wonder how that would look on a fiberlite stock?

Thanks Fortis120 for what I consider was an excellent idea. I've re-furbished my fair share of furniture over the years and never even considered using bumper coating. I just did a fiberlite stock and a few bare metal sling swivels and the results were excellent. I've had the bumper coating for over 15 years and was surprised that it even still worked. Only spent the last five years living in the garage and was left over from detailing cars many years ago. I tried both plasti-kote #616 and Dupli-color black flexible bumper coating and both worked equally as well in my opinion. So far only one average coating. Will stress test after curing. Bernie, stock look familiar.

What I like about it is it doesn't feel like paint. More of a rubber feeling like the real deal and if it starts to wear, I'll just add another coat. I picked up several original stock parts several years back. The role pin on the locking nut adds to the Colt look. |

I kinda like the way it feels also. It also sprays pretty good for a rattle can with the old style spray nozzle. I'm gonna try it on a couple of crack repaired D stocks instead of fusion. I usually fix em up and give them to the local youth shooters. They are gonna even get coated swivels this time. Try and help them out when I can. Keep the retro hobby alive and many kids don't like the trap door stuff. Heck I'm no kid and I prefer a C or D over an E or A-2 anyday. I can easily sand off a few ozs for the real light rifle build. Chicks usually dig a 6 1/2 lb 20" A-1. Ice cream comes in different flavors for a reason.
