can you use this on a painted stock or will it come out brown

you do not use this on anything painted. the oil needs to penetrate into the wood grain, so stained wood can be oiled or raw wood after sanding, but paint, and wood sealers will not let the oil work

I am sorry I cannot answer that question as I have not attempted to do that. I must try it though.

Agreed w/ Curran Murphy there--how the oil works is that it absorbs into the wood itself, and layer after layer/coat after coat builds up to form a tough exterior. Lots of good info about how to use it on YouTube

I would not recommend it. When applied to bare wood, it does have a slight amber tint. I have applied over stains and dyes without any issues, but again I would not use it over paint.

To be honest, never tried it. But I have never seen this stuff change color on anything. I do sand, and STAIN wood and finish, and it doesn't darken, nor color the wood. Do a test spot and see? :)

I don't know, I've only painted it. I like the product a lot. You might try it out on some scrap wood and see how it does. You can always use it on something else if it does look good stained.

I just wiped my gun down. My stock is synthetic, so I didn't have to work with the wood. It's pretty straight forward, take your time and it looks great

I would use hide glue found in lumber yards mixed with water 1tsp hide lue to a cup of warm water. Makes a great stable water color paint. Maybe a dash of alum.

You would deffenantly have to sand it down first. The original paint would just bubble up underneath. If you read my review, the paint is the least of your worries.

From the brief search I did on those substances, I'd say no. I've sprayed a rust proof primer and it came out kind of clumpy with the larger tip. I have shot tractor and implement enamels, with a little bit of thinning they can come out nicely. If you have to time to do multiple light coats, it might work.Also, and unrelated, I've been using a brake cleaner to clean this gun the last few times. It's reduced cleanup time by 2/3 and so far has shown no ill effects.

I will tell you one thing. do no skimp on prep time. If you can, san all of the old paint off first. It is not easy, but this is the only way to get a factory finish. might i suggest a wire wheel on a drill, then after that , smooth out the metal o it is realatively smooth. When you now paint it, make sure you do noy let the nozzle get to close to prevent runs, if ny type of imperfections were to happen, then wait for the taint to dry, then sand the imperfevt area, then put on at leaaaat two thinne coats rather than one Robert thicke coat

This is just like any clear soapy liquid. If you get it on something, it won't stain if you clean it within a reasonable amount of time. If left for weeks or months, it may eventually turn brownish.

Yes you can paint marine tex once it is completly cured. Just sand it to fair it out and paint away.

I would say yes, it would dull the effects of the metallic paint. Since this is a wax it creates a barrier that will cause a slight clouding of any finish. I would really suggest this for only unpainted or stained woods since it will bring out the grains in those. I can't really see this working well for any painted finish. However, I would be happy to try it out and let you know how it reacts!

It works really well, and unlike some of the alkaline enviromental strippers (like Peel Away 7) it won't darken the wood. If the paint is many coats accumulated over decades, it may require a second application to get it all.

Yes. Just make sure that you do not polish the metal. Wrie brush it or a coarse sand paper to take off the surface rust. You will need 2 coats. Pour the first one down and it will appear dull. The second coat will look the color you need. Make sure to wear the gloves and to put something down where you will be painting. This paint will leave it's mark. Good luck.

KRUD KUTTER works better on fresh applied paint. I'll suggest to check it on small area first.

I dont know of any paint that would match, but i would say be careful not to get paint into the works.... taking off the slide and disembeling and removing the internals might make it ok to spray paint but you prob dont want any paint getting inside on the rails where it might flake and do something bad.I have seen this air gun looking pretty cool where people have disasembled the slide and sanded it down to the bare metal with wet and dry sandpaper...but that looks like a lot of work.I think you should prob complain to the seller if it came like that.

Every finish is different, even when using the same product on the same wood. However, my experience with Tru-Oil is that it will slightly tint lighter woods. I use it on guitar finishes as well as gun stocks. I have never noticed any yellowing with age on either medium.

I painted a car I restored and the paint came out beautiful. To try and compare that and answer your question is difficult. Stain has a much thinner viscosity than automotive paint. What you will need to do is adjust the fan spray pattern as well as the air mixture but it can be easily done with this unit. It is an LVLP and compared to my other guns that are HVLP, LVLP gives a much finer spray with much less overspray which will allow you to have much less loss of material from overspray as well as less orange peal. Make sure your compressor is able to provide about 10 CFM or better and keep your tank pressure as high as possible and adjust it down at the gun with a pressure valve at the gun. Be sure to test the air compressor with an empty gun by holding the trigger and making sure that after several minutes of continuous use, the pressure regulator at the gun can maintain a pressure in the peek of the green zone.

When the remaining paint in the bottle dries up, simply add a touch of hot water to it, a little at a time and stir it with a round tooth pick till it starts to mix, but better yet and much more efficient, I tape it to a vibrating tumbler I have to clean my dirty, fired pistol brass. It's already water based anyway so you can't hurt it with water.
