I've noticed a number of shields that seem to have some sort of coating on them and then directly painted as opposed to cloth coverings. Any tutorials on this? I don't even know what people are using.

http://www.calistonarmory.com/index.php/tutorials/ ^ Fitz Caliston of Caliston Armory has a very detailed tutorial on plastidipping, as well as a video series on it. Also, if you use Facebook, join the Plastidip Artists page. There are tons of resources there, as well as advice from some of the best plasti-dip artists in foam fighting.
