I think there was a link around here for US standards for painting the guns (now that they have the right to do it)
Basically, the barrel plus any mechanical component or entry holes should be left unpainted (that is because they are issued rifles and must be cleaned before they are returned... barrel gets hot and cook the paint, and I guess a painted bolt carrier would really suck)
When I do my guns, I simply remove the parts I don't want to paint (like the barrel extension for instance, on my G36). Then cover all holes that should not be covered (scope apperture, ejection port and cover...)
Other than that, it is go as you feel... I usually either keep the gun black/original or do a basic paint job, then re-paint when it is too worns out/I am bored of it...
