    Hey guys!

    Recently I got my girlfriend a Weatherby Element Synthetic for her birthday and valentine's day (her birthday is close to it), and I just have a question on paint jobs. I normally don't paint my guns because why would you, but she has a thing for robin's egg blue, and I think it would be a nice touch for it to personalize the gun. What do you guys usually use to paint the stock? I don't want to paint the barrel at all, I just want where the stock is grey to be blue instead basically.

    Welcome to the forum. A photo of the gun you're referring to would help if you're trying to get advice from this motley crew. Why don't you just ask your dad. Maybe he has some helpful advice for you.

    As an example, I painted this with Krylon Fusion. It's held up well.

    It would look awesome if you did a blue camo pattern similar to this for it.

    But she may prefer the solid Robin's egg blue to the blue camo. It is for HER after all. My advice is solicite her input into what she prefers before undertaking any large endeavors.
