Dude,if you ask for help,you will get it in the form of guidance. Camo painting a rifle isn't that difficult. Most on here may not have the time to attend to your rifle, and may have projects of their own on the fire.

I'm worried i'm going to screw it up...that's why I said I would pay the person to do it, it would be worth their time.

If you try it and fail, you can purchase a new stock from Crosman for I believe around $25.00 plus shipping from New York- so it won't be an epic fail if something goes wrong.

Plus, you'll gain the experience & end up having the knowledge of how to DIY later on if you decide to get another gun.

You won't screw it up. I'll tell you why.
Wipe it down with rubbing alcohol to degrease it.
Do several thin coats of XIM bonder in a spray can as primer.
Let it dry 1 day. Then mask (light tack tape) whatever pattern you want
and spray it with Krylon.

If you don't like the pattern re-do it 'til you do.

Once you like the pattern let it cure for a day then spray
a few coats of oil based polyurethane in a gloss of your liking.

It really is easy. I just don't do camo (yet).

The above link is very good.

Uhoh, I see a project with my own 10/77 Cool

I would do it for the cost of materials just for fun, but I can't guarantee anything. I would do a good (but never perfect, of course) job with an airbrush like I camo'ed model airplanes. You might hate it though. You never know what is in someone's mind's eye and it might be very different from mine.
