Cheapest way would be to sand it with 220 Grit sand paper it gives it some sort or a key for paint to stick to.

Best way is if you know some one with a shot blaster and use aluminium Oxide 80/120 grit, dont use glass as it tends to polish the surface

Make sure your surface is Grease and oil free as paint wont stick to that. Dont leave acetone near your stock... it will eat it.

Paints in B&Q/outdoor shops tend to be very hard and chip/flake easily.

Cant remember if it was here on another Irish shooter type forum but a guty redid his shotgun and used rattle can paint.

If I remember correctly he did a fair bit of prep work for it but it still chipped and flaked off pretty easy
