Would you recommend using aqua paint/ hydro-graphics to paint a guns frame?

I have seen many people painting things such as wheel rims and other things using hydro graphics but haven't seen many people painting guns what are your thoughts?

 
Do you mean HYDRO DIPPING? I have seen a lot of people do that, also people do it on real firearms and it seems that the paint is not coming off after a while like it would if you have used a spray paint.

 
It's all about surface prep and the clearcoat that goes on afterwards. I've had some bike parts done that lasted about 5 minutes, but once they were redone properly they still looked good two years later when I sold the thing. That survived all weathers, abrasion from leathers and zips etc, being regularly washed (and not so regularly...). I think I recut the clear finish once to bring back the shine, but no colour fading.
