I buried the head in the ground to get all the hide and flesh off, and now it is stainded black, I have tried degreasing and can't get the black stain off and bleaching doesn't seem to be doing much

probably mineral stains from the dirt, or has a big load of grease still in it, just about any paint will paint it, I would look for matte white or something similar. There maybe a few folks on here who paint skulls that are stained or damaged, most of us work hard to get them as white as possible.

Mike P's favorite seems to be the white paint from the Dollar Store. He talks about it in his tutorials. Take a look at them and see if it specifies which one. I belive one of them does.

benmj- hey man just messing with you. lol. i'd do as seawolf says. here i have used lifetone lacquer paint the superhide white color for bright white touch ups, or you could do an off white or bass belly white whatever matches the color, but then you'd be buying 3 bottles of paint and you'd need an airbrush so you might have $100 tied into that.

if i were you i wouldn't paint it. just degrease and whiten the crap out of it and take your time, it will get at least decent white. decent white is better than a painted white.

How To: Hydro Dipping A Cow Skull With Spray Paint
The first thing you probably want to do is paint your skull with a base coat of color. This is optional, but is often a good idea. There are likely to be areas that don't get covered with paint when the skull is dipped, and with a base coat you get to choose the color that shows through.
That's It, You're Done!
When your hydro dip is finished let your skull thoroughly dry. Since bone is porous, allow extra drying time not only for the paint but also for the bone of the skull.
Other Ways To Hydro Dip
Hydro dipping doesn't have to use spray paint. A similar method calls for placing hydrographic film on top of the water instead of spray paint.
