| 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  |

| 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. |
