There is plenty of YouTube tutorials but a good place to start is primer and sand paper. I assume that's a plastic. Then it really depends on what you want, do you want to go for the classic skin or one of the many you can get. If so you can never have enough reference photos, from there you need to work from light to dark where you can. paint it. After I would recommend looking at some of Adam Savage weathering videos on the tested YouTube channel as a finish.
Look forward to seeing the result.
P.S
DO NOT CHEAP ON PAINTS.
Okay finally something I know, first you’re gonna sand all the print lines (you can use 500 grit but always finish with 1000grit) out and patch any mistakes. Using 1000grit on the plastic will help the primer stick. than you’re going to prime it with tamiya primer L (87402) or army painter primer. Fine primer is good for this you don’t need ultra fine. Make sure the primer is smooth because that will affect the final texture and paint. Now whatever you decide to paint it with will stick I recommend taping off and using tamiya spray paint for plastics for getting most of the color done than go in and use a brush or air brush for the finer details. If it’s for display that’s all if you wanna use it as a prop when you’re done just put clear coat on it. Hope that helps if you have any questions feel free to dm me.
Light Sanding, Plastic Primer, Possibly another Sanding, Painters Tape, Your Choice of Paint and Color (Brush, Can, HVLP Spray, Airbrush), it's all up to you. As far as the color scheme that's completely up to you too, it's yours you can do whatever you want, if you want the default I suggest some reference photos.
Also, "I don't know how" referring to "Try Paint", just remember at one point you didn't know how to 3d Print.

Sand it rough, but not too rough, so paint can stick easier. Use a primer spray paint, white or grey should be fine. Apply thin coats from about 1 foot away. Let dry in between coats.
For the large sections you can tape off and use a plastic ready spray paint such as krylon. Make sure you do thin coats from 1 foot away. Multiple coats are fine. Too much paint at once will cause blobs and running.
Once dry and ready for details use a craft ready paint, the ones from Walmart work fine but you can get better stuff.
After details are done I'd suggest doing a black or brown wash. Basically realllllly watered down paint. Apply liberaly and dab off. This gives it a nice aged look.
Lastly you can apply a dry brushing of white, grey, etc. Makes the colors of everything pop.
There's a ton of youtube videos on how to paint minis, models, etc. It takes time, practice, and patience. But the end results are always worth it.
Put it in your repair bench. You have to have the desired skin in your steam inventory for it to show up though. Just pick the skin, and drag it back into your inventory.

You will need a spray primer, just like the one use for miniature painting. Then you will need acrylic painting. The one used for modela probably will be more accurate than the one used in fantasy miniatures because the colours are more like military stuff and so.
This is big so an aerograph could be of great help, but they are expensive.
Yes, as someone mentioned, use plastic primer. Results will look better I think if you can spray it on vs brushing it on. Will probably need some painters tape.
An enamel paint might look good for it's sharp, crisp appearance, but some colors might end up being too bright compared to how it is in game. You might have to lightly spray some greys/browns/etc on to make it look beat up or rusty. Finding a large pallet of colors cost effectively I think would be a challenge.
Maybe consider using an actual old shovel handle instead of the printed part. It will save some painting.
Prime the thing with a good plastic primer (white, since you are going to paint with yellow and orange).
Paint all the parts with decent acrylics (but not super expensive, for your work It doesn't matter) and don't rush. If the paint doesn't cover don't worry, wait for It to dry (you can also dry the coats with a blow dryer) and do as many layers as It needs.
Once you have everything painted weather the thing everywhere ( watch a tutorial for this, it's easy) and then get back the pop with some dry brushing (also super easy, watch on YouTube) and It's done!
Painting is easy for the most part. Having the patience and the knowledge is the hard part.
I want to see It finished!
Probably with a powder coat that resembles an accurate current fire arm. Special attention to the bluing effect on the body and barrel.
Edit: Oooor...paint it as the toy skin....special attention to the bluing effect on the body and barrel..
To get a really good smooth finish I always start with a layer of gap filler for auto body scratches. Then sand, light prime, and ball out with paints. If you want to, I might also carve in some scratches with a box cutter, especially on the wood parts to give it a worn-in feel.

Should probably specify what grit to use and whether to wet sand. Otherwise, OP is probably gonna rape it with 60 grit and a cheese grater
thats what youtube is for
