i painted my WHOLE gun. first of all, i bought the gun to have a cheap all around varmint rifle so a camo job just felt like the right thing to do.mounted a tasco varmint 2.5-10x mildot scope on it and shoot the winnny whitebox 45gr JHP's into TINY groups! i started with a base coat of a eggshell white, let that dry for a day. then i  grabbed a can of brown, green and black and started making strips of different colors all the way down it and let that dry for 2 days. then i raided moms house plants and what ever 2 colors were next to eachother i would use a different color hold the leaf about 3" over the gun and give it a quick pass spray not allowing "too much" paint to hit it and cause runs. go all over the gun until you think thats a decent first coat. then let it dry for atleast 1 day. then get a different leaf and repeat process until you feel good about it. i used fern like leaves on mine and really like how it breaks it up compared to plain oak or maple leafs.

good luck! it is quite addicting if you get one to come out good. best part about it is, if you dont like it....let it dry and DO IT AGAIN!

I painted the stock on my Marlin 880SQ, which is also a synthetic.
  I figured it must be some form of plastic or polyurethane , so I painted the first coat with Krylon "fusion" paint (made to bind with plastics)
    Then I followed with krylon camo colors.
   
Other paints may have worked as well but I find that applying Krylon paints over others can produce a crinkle finish (different reducers), so I didn't take any chances.

...Anyway, Krylon does have some nice, flat camo colors...available at Wally World...
