I have an older 835 that I am adding a tactical stock to.  My question is what is the best method to prep the gun before painting.  It has the factory camo on it, but it looks pretty rough, so I was planning on painting everything when I het the new stock on.

Do it yourself jobs turn to Brownells Aluma-hyde.  Best there is in a can.  They have a few good colors: Olive Drab, Coyote tan, Flat Black, ectt.  Even have a black grit spray for forearm and palm areas.  Prep work is the key and they even have stuff for that too.  They have very knowledgeable customer service.
Keys:  Completely strip gun apart
           Proper prep work by removing ALL oil and grease--Contact Brownell's
           Tape up everywhere you dont want the paint.
            Warm conditions to paint (Above 72 degrees minimum, but i think 80 is way better) and              adequate time to cure properly(depending on environmental temp. , but 30 days is good) 
           
Their stuff is as tuff as you can get for do it yourself applications and impervious to most all strong cleaning products and solvents
Be the type of person your dog thinks you are.
