Companies spend 10s of 1000s of dollars developing these sweet-looking coatings, and you won't find the info freely distributed here. Take my advice, if you want it to look good, spend $100 or so (it will be cheaper for you to do this, then to try and coat it yourself, and the results will be 10 times better), and send it to a professional...its well worth it. I believe you'll probably find several coaters listed in a paintball gun magazine, or.. check the WWW, as I know they can be found there, along with pricing info.
