Anschutz 8002 Black Hunter

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I doubt you will find an answer to your question but I did take a look at your Anschutz and that nice looking for sure

so the question is, was it dipped, sprayed, is it one part or two part

I guess you would have to buy every rattle can rubberized spray you can find and test and then worry, will it stay on and last

there was one other soft touch rifle, I can't remember the brand and that the coating fails and becomes sticky to the touch

The process used was DIPPING....You can test try the dipping process using some of the many "Rubberized" materials in existence....

I've used alternative number 2 below (matte black) with a hunting gun stock and had good results...When I did it I wasn't looking for perfection (it is just a hunting tool) and all I wanted was to weatherproof the stock and this process worked very well. I am sure that if you dip and control the thickness of the layer you can attain very good results but I don't think any of these products can be used to "Patch" the Anschutz finish...Anschutz dips and then hangs their stocks in a drying oven (you can emulate that with IR light)

I sprayed it with an air gun/large nozzle that my neighbor uses for spraying liners and protecting his pick ups but the material was thin enough for using a smaller nozzle...The rubberized material is self leveling and you have enough time to make sure there are no over sprayed areas, etc. People usually DIP their tools vs. spraying them but for a wooden stock with a pistol grip and other irregular surfaces, I believe spraying is the way to do it.

If you don't find the texture you like and are looking for something with more grip, you can add very fine silica or sand to the compound, that is the way I did mine and it turned out pretty nice.

I painted the stock with a matte black spray paint before applying the rubberized coat, I did this because my stock (hunting stock) is made out of Birch and it was too white and I was afraid that one coat of the rubberized material would not cover the white color....After applying the finish I realized that painting was not necessary but painting it didn't hurt either...

Two coats were enough and I did not dilute it because the product comes ready for spraying and they do recommend spraying or dipping and you can apply several coats depending on desired thickness...If I were going to do it again, I would use a regular paint sprayer and UV lighting inside my garage to make sure no contaminants adhere to the finish.

Note: They do sell similar products in spray cans, for the price it is probably a good idea to buy one and test it on a piece of wood... Please see: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Plasti-Dip-11-oz-Black-Plasti-Dip-11203-6/100131010
