For what it's worth, Mossy Oak sells a kit made from that formable vinyl. When you go around curves, you use your wife's hair dryer. A little heat and the vinyl acts like shrink wrap. It adheres very well and the stuff is tuff as nails.

Step 1, sand whole stock.
Step 2, clean with acetone to remove all oils and residue.
Step 3, using Plasticoat, spray base coat. I've used flat black, white or even dark green.
Step 4, cut up masking tape in interesting pattern. I've made what I call Panzer (see WWII german tank), tall grass, Anaconda, faux carbon fiber, snow bank, and Realtree. Use your imagination and local climate. Start with darkest back color, mask, spray. Remember, the more colors, the more room you'll need.
Repeat for each color.
Remove tape after 24 hours. MAYBE coat with clear, flat or gloss depending on pattern and colors.
For examples, search camo paintjobs.

Worked fine on the Swarovski Z6 in the picture above but I would never do it again. Once it starts to wear off there is no good way to remove it . I have switched mainly to Cerakote now.
