Painting a laminated maple stock

[LittleJeff]

I have a laminated maple stock that I want to paint. I know it'll involve a lot of sanding and cleaning, but what kind of primer and paint should I use? I was thinking either matte blask or olive green. The stock is a tactical style stock. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks Jeff

Personally I have had good luck with automotive oil base spray paint. One can find it by the can at auto parts stores (including flat black, olive, tan, etc.) and primers to match. Be sure to let it set for a few days before taking it afield.

I also was thinking about using Duplicolor's spray in bedliner. I think that would be pretty durable and hold up well.
