I'm thinking whatever makes it easiest / cheapest for the plater to deal with.  If it's got paint on it it might make it so they can't dunk the whole thing in the plating baths.

Couldn't tell you whats easier, since I don't do plating.  If its not a show build, the gun-coating is the most durable thing I have.

If it doesn't matter to you, I'd just do what you normally would do except no coatings at all applied.  I know it might end up looking like ass in a few months when the bare copper oxidizes, but hopefully it'll have a shiny layer of hard gold plate before then :)

It's easy of you just go step by step! Any project can be overwhelming at first.
