Is there a way to camo my gun?

You have a few choices. You can paint it, have it dipped or restock it. I would avoid camo tape as a permenent fix, its designed to be used for only 1 season or less.

I've painted a few of mine with really good results, others on this board have had excellent results judging from the pictures that they have posted.

I thought about having mine dipped but it wasn't worth the cost to me.
I wouldn't consider restocking unless your current stock is unusable, you can buy a new rifle for the cost of some camo rplacement stocks.

How much do you want to spend and how good do you want it to look? You could always get some spray paint and have at it but for a professional job you could look at something like this:

If you have a Gander Mountain nearby I think they offer this service as well.

I bought a camo sock once....was great....look for one.

it slid over the entire gun....was dull cloth type material, so no tape/glue residue left afterwards...

dipping or just buying a camo gun otherwise I think is the way to go...

The easiest none permanent way I've found is camo vet wrap. Typically used to bandage horses legs it has no glue or sticky stuff on it. Its a tape that only sticks to itself and you can do up a gun in five minutes. At the end of the day take it off and if you care to re-use it again. Cost is less than $2 a roll. Generally I do the barrel and scope of my predator guns the night before I go out.

check this site out. it has very good details and colored pictures as well. just make sure you practice on something else first and don't just go straight for the gun. get a piece of galvanized pole or something and practice a few times on that first before you get to work on your firearm. seems PERFECT and i'm going to try it on my savage very soon!

You can camo dip it yourself using a Dip Kit found here http://www.mydipkit.com/

You can find a video of a guy explaining and demonstrating the dipping process here http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1160855

Here's another step-by-step how-to on painting a gun camo. Similar process to the one above with a different camo scheme.

While the gentleman in your link did a very nice job it is still a painted shotgun.
The link that I provided is actually dipping the gun in a camo film. It is the exact process that professional camo dippers go thru when you send your gun out to them, but in a do it yourself format.
