Gunsmithing Painting A Fiberglass Stock

What's the plan? Single color? Multicolor/ Camo? You could also "dip" it with rattle can paints and a tub of water....
1) scuff paint with scotchbite pad.
2) clean with acetone.....i usually follow up with a cleaning of alcohol to remove all traces of acetone
3) warm paint cans in warm water.......warm stock with a hair drier
4) apply paint.....hold cans 10-12" away and make long, light passes.....wipe nozzles after each pass to prevent drips
5) dry stock with hair drier to flash off solvent in the paint.
6) repeat steps 4 and 5 until stock is completely covered.
7) wait at least a week for paint to cure and fully harden

Thanks guys,Multi color something such as desert cause Im in southwest.Its a Numrich stock so I will have to tend to the metal first.Thinking about using Krylon Fusion paints.
I just did an HS precision stock for a friend, Rustoleum camo paints and a couple sponges then matte clear over it.

This is how I do them, it has worked well for me.
1. Sand and fill in any pin holes
2. Wipe down stock, tape off any areas you need to and lay a coat of epoxy high build primer on
3. Thicken your primer and turn pressure down on air gun to shoot a texture, let sit over night
4. Lay on some H series cerakote and bake at 140-150 for 3 hours
