Prime it first. Then do several LIGHT coats of crylon flat black camo paint.
wait 5-10 minutes between coats, and then let it dry for while (like a few days)
Some people chose to add a clear coat, probably not a bad idea.
Some people just spray it right on the gun and don't dissassemble, however this really tests your taping skills, and you will undoubltedly get better results if you dissasemble

Oh yeah, right, the primer. You do and don't need it. It says on the bottle "primer not needed" or something like that, with the ultra-flat. I don't use primer really, its just not needed depending on the gun. But you might want to find a good sealer maybe? Just so it doesn't wear off switch sweat eventually. But if you leave it for a good few hours after painting, and leave it outside, it should be fine. Like I said, you don't need primer, and no sealent. Infact, the sealent might make it shine, so I don't suggest it.
Also, remember: ULTRA-FLAT!!!
Oh, and you are going to feel some grit after every dry. When you do a few coats, it will go away, but of course, like the other coats, the last one will have the same grit. What you want to do is get a brush (like the small ones used for sweeping. The mini brooms), and dust the thing down. Just before, you do this, or after, I would get an air-spray can. Don't worry about the "water" it is just condensation, and should be there for only a short few seconds. Also, take a toothbrush to the inside of the trigger guard. When the thing is completely dry, no paint should come off, so vigorous brushing shouldn't go anything...Atleast it didn't to me.
