it's pretty easy but you must have your process laid out before you begin. You need to sandblast what you're refinishing and clean and dry it good. Determine how you're going to hold the object while spraying as well as how you're going to suspend the object during the heat cure.
Use a HVLP gun regulated to the correct pressure and do the hard to reaqch areas first. I did this a couple of months ago:

I used regular blue painters tape to mask my barrel extension and flash hider. The oven dried the tape out, and left a little adhesive residue behind, but it cleaned up easy.
I used 120 grit aluminum oxide to blast everything before painting. I also didn't have a HVLP gun, so I used my airbrush. Ended up ok..

Looks like their burnt bronze. |

I replied earlier and figured it would be moved quickly to the refinishing forum. It would be better off moved. You figured wrong. It stays, as it has in the past. May be someone's pet? I'd still like to know how this differs from refinishing. I might find it useful |
