Most of the factory guns already have it on.

Factory camo is usually a dip rather than a wrap.

Thanks all. I'm looking for personal experiences with DIY versions.

I own a shop that does vehicle wraps. I haven't tried wrapping a gun yet, but let me know what you are trying to do exactly and I can help answer some questions you may have.

I'm in Tustin, want to do a test run on a black shotgun I have?

I'm a day's drive from Tustin, thank you though. I'm thinking of putting a camouflage wrap on a wood stock, 3.5" chamber semi auto for ducks/geese.

I used a wrap on my versa max. Came out looking good. After a few hunts the wrap started lifting from the polymer stock. Not bad at first but it got worst. Currently all is off the stock, some came off the rest I tore off. Maybe my prep work but i followed instructions. Currently it is still on barrel and reciever, but all off they stock and forearm. I am not the best about cleaning my gun after a hunt, so it wasn't chemicals. In fact the extent of cleaning since wrap was applied was bore snaking barrel and whipping out action and oiling action.

Don't wrap it. If you don't mind doing something permanent, look into paint finishes. There are lots of DIY options like Gun Kote, and you can use air cure, oven cure, or catalyzed products. Or you can have a company like LTM coat your gun is any of dozens of camo patterns. Will last a lot longer than vinyl wrap, but it's very permanent, and better than factory dip camo.

Or, just get a can of flat black lacquer and spray the gun. Works well, easy to touch up, and removable if you ever change your mind.
