Painting crankbaits

I manufacture fishing lures and want to start painting crankbaits. How do I get a photo finish on this type of lure, which gives a real fish look to it? Where can I get this type of equipment? Looked on the net but can't find anything.

If you can help me please contact me, thank you for your help.

Typically the designs on these lures are printed first with a pad printer. They are then painted with a clearcoat (urethane, I think) for protection.
