There may be some do-it yourself chemical processes available for that. Try googling to see what comes up.

....and in before the sharpie jokes!

If tell us what type of coating you want, and give your location...others might be able to recommend a place near you.

I would like it to be a shiny black but im not sure on what the coating is called

Polished black Nitride or dlc

Ion bond cab give a semi gloss black that is very durable and won't affect your barrel to slide fit. It's not cheap though.

If you decide to nitride your stainless barrel, go for plasma nitriding instead of salt bath nitriding. Nitriding stainless steel doesn't provide the huge increase in corrosion resistance compared to nitriding carbon steel, but at least plasma nitriding improves corrosion resistance of stainless somewhat, where as salt bath nitriding can actually reduce it.
