Prep ?

I get a rattle can of plastic adhesion promoter from my automotive paint store.
Give it 10 to 15 minutes before priming.
After primer has set sand n scuff primer to smooth surface and fix Imperfections.

Having access to spray equipment is optimum, but work with what you have means to.

Not sure I can get used to the Savage Desert Tan, SOoo, would an auto paint store have the primer as well as the "plastic adhesion" and required paint in the "rattle cans" ??

I used Rustoleum camo flat black and Duracoat matte clear enamel on the grips.

Yes.
This one was the Accufit hunting stock that has the black rubber inlays on the grips, so I painted everything else.
Nice, On the Savage Shooters site there were suggestions to use auto spray de greaser, or brake spray cleaner
No you'll release oils in the plastic that will impede adhesion., create static and possibly fish eyes.
Water borne cleaner or alcohol!!
Same goes for not scuffing the surface.
No scratchy, no sticky!!
You need mechanical tooth for adhesion.
You might get away with it today, but it'll probably flake and peal later.

Listen to this man, he paints vehicles for a living and does gun stocks as well.
Modern vehicles have a metric ton of polymer based trim such as air dams and bumper covers that he has to keep up with the latest finishing technology to repair/paint.
Do it right for a lasting finish.

I have been successfully painting my tupperware stocks for years. My technique has been a bit different from what is being described here though, access to a lot of the items mentioned here is simply not available to me. I just wipe the stock down with a degreaser and use Rustoleum spray cans, I do two or three light coats and am done, the biggest thing is to not spray it on too thick.
To me the rattle can method seems to make the most sense for a "using" rifle, even if it should get dinged or chipped all that is required for a fix is to do a light blend sand and respray the damaged area.
Rustoleum is my favorite rattle can brand, they have a multitude of colors and textures available.
