To start out I have a Marlin Model 60 .22 basic rifle made in the late 70's. I picked this gun up about 10 years ago at an auction cheap. I just replaced the wooden stock with an ATI plastic stock which was only $40. The new stock has added new life to this old rifle. The rifle is one I use for target shooting and plinking in the back yard. The bluing on the rifle barrel is in real good shape but the parts that have been factory painted are showing some wear. Since this is a basic cheap reliable gun and no matter what I do with it it will always be a basic cheap reliable gun I want to paint it to freshen it up. I was thinking about painting all the metal surfaces of the gun except for the plain metal trigger and bolt. I think I want to use a deep metallic blue like you would use for a car. I plan to leave the stock the color it is.
What do you guys think? Lets hear some ideas. I have not made my final decision as to color yet and an open for ideas.
