There, ya see? You say it's a G Lock 34 which means nothing to me. Their model numbers have no common sense to them.
I'll refinish a wood and steel stock, but painting is not in my scope of how I want my guns to look.
To each their own though.

Sponge paint camo because, why not? When it gets scratched up, touch up is easy to hide to where you never knew it was there.
ETA: This thing was bubbashopped to the extreme by my late step dad. It had an old Bushnell holosight that stuck way up in the air on it, mounted to a weaver rail that had ZERO screws (there ain't any holes for them) and I nuked the bluing getting it all off (JB Weld). Then he fashioned an abortion of a UGE! leather cheekpad and used nails to hold it on the stock. Some Oxpho Blue, wood filler and Krylon...It looks better now and is actually shootable.

Eyes are playing tricks on you as you seen the other camo car the Toyota corolla which has a "reptile" camo job
The link below with more pictures.
Camo the Corolla
I got the front clip finished. I should be in the woods though. Tell me if it looks horrible I can take it. I had to paint it as the clear coat was a mess. 331,000 miles on this 1995 corolla. My first attempt at this type of pattern.

the same angle as the camo geo metro.
ARs are a dime a dozen, just go ahead and paint them!
Not all dimes are the same or worth the same amount of money , remember that and spray your paint accordingly.
Personally, I don't like the look, but I understand why a camo shotgun is desirable in a duck blind or hunting turkey.
As to refinishing a used gun - the quality of the work and products used will have a lot to do with the effect on resale value. If you do an armature job and it does not stick, chips, or rubs off easily, you just made something ok into a problem.
When I see an aftermarket paint job my first thought is what kind of damage are they trying to hide.
Same with a matt finish on a blued gun that should not have been matt.
Your toy, your paint.

I've painted several ARs. Some paint jobs turned out better than others. 
If you strip them to raw self etching primer is your friend.

Painted rifles are great. I’ve done a rattle can job but I prefer professional cerakote. It protects the gun more than almost any other finish (as in from rust, I don’t care about scratches) and it makes a dramatic difference in visibility. Nothing stands out more than a black gun at night.
Also, if you have ever sat a black rifle down in the sun in the summer and gone to pick it back up an hour later, it can be a painful experience, paint helps with that also.
As far as resale value, I will say I don’t tend to paint historical or collectible guns. So for example, an original FN FAL won’t get the paint but a DSA FAL clone that are a dime a dozen would.
