For those interested in painting a faux/fake wood finish for your rifles/ stocks/ handguards.... 1) Start with any dark primer ( i used dark earth) 2) Spray a base coat of orange yellow / dark yellow spray paint 3) Using a large, coarse brush, dry brush burnt umber acrylic paint on top of the yellow, let dry. Use big strokes in one/parallel directions to simulate wood grain. 3) Using the same brush and paint, paint a very dilute layer on top of the "wood grain" 4) Using spray on acrylic wood stain, spray a very light layer to finish. You can spray some areas darker for weathering effect. 5) Finish with a layer of clear coat. Hope this helps...

Very nice effect. I am sure this will help a lot of people. This needs a sticky I think!

Thanks. I've been wondering how to get the "wood" look.

I'll try to post up some custom gun tutorials too. I think they really help. People have a lot of extra confidence to start a project when the have a precise guide to follow. Again this needs a stickie!
