What I did was wash it real good then after taping it I sprayed it with flat black "stick to anything" rustoleum. You can find it at home depot but its a little pricey. Then I used leaves and braches from a fake tree and three different colors of krylon camo color paint. There definetly is a technique to it. I painted an old smoker and some other stuff to get the hang of it before I took this on. It holds up pretty good, I think its been on there for 8 mos now and still looks good
