Firstly, yes I realize that Duracoat is probably going to last longer. BUT...if you're looking to camo an older rifle / shotgun, there are alternatives.
This is the most recent firearm that I've done using Krylon spray from good 'ole Canadian Tire. The rifle was degreased and primed with metal primer. The stock was sanded down and also primed. A textured finish paint, the kind that you would use on outdoor furniture was used on the stock for a little more grip. I taped off the action and removed all screws and 'bits' so that they would still be easily removable (I hate painted screws). Make sure that you wear latex gloves!
Constructive comments are welcomed.
I've also painted three other single shot shotguns which were used for turkey last year. I'm in the process of doing a Winchester Model 2200 right now.
