and grinning to myself. Gary and I know one another from previous work experiences and we came up with a colour and design with some small art work requested by him. Once we settled on a design and I started to prep and paint.
I can use many different types of paints whether its solvent-based or water-based, I really like the water- based Auto Air (AA) paints as I feel that they produce the best results. I have used these paints on jet-ski bikes, cars, and golf clubs to name a few. AA produce some amazing paints - exotic types such as the Gem series, which Gary and I decided upon. The way this

and an idea of what he requires, I then design the artwork and provide him with a colour chart that helps him nail the exact colour he requires and, at this point, I explain the work and timescale, so he understands the complete process.
One of his main concerns was the protection of the paintwork. Once the artwork or custom paint is
paint reacts in the sunlight is truly out of this world.
I have produced a short You Tube video so you can actually see the interaction in the sunlight. This is just one of the paints that AA produce but there are so many that can be used for your next project.
As I am an airbrush artist, detailed and fine artwork can be painted on to your rifle stock - such as photos, skulls, underwater themes, aeroplanes, birds, snakes, graphic design - the list is endless. If you have an idea, I am sure that I can provide a solution to your artwork or design for your rifle stock.

finished, it is protected by 2K lacquer systems that provides amazing protection, just the same as you would have from a factory laminate stock. Now here is the difference between ‘factory’ and ‘custom’.
At Liquid Colour Design we apply six coats of clear high-finish 2K lacquer. We then fast cut and polish and end up with a hand glaze finish. This process was developed by many years of custom painting and award winning paint jobs from leading international custom painters. It provides a glass finish that looks wet - totally amazing. Your standard factory stock would get two coats of 2K lacquer without any polish then thrown out the door. I am offering a real custom bespoke paint and finish that you will be proud of.
