BTW polyurethane paint would be best if applied with spray gun by mixing with Hardner,Right.
Also for polyurea,what type of spray gun would be needed .I have a 2 HP compressor.
What about these?

Unfortunately has to be a very specific, dedicated system to heat the two chemicals and mix them just as they leave the gun. They start from about £7000 for the very basic models.

If its around £7000 ,then polyurethane is very good for me!!
If I get it (polyurethene) applied by a professional painter will I get the same finish as the image in 1st post?If so then its just amazing!!

I am confused a bit about spraying texture...
Can I spray the texture by adjusting the nozzle of the spray gun(Is this possible?) Or should I make it thick than the 1 St coat?

If you are using a standard HVLP pait gun, you will find using a large nozzle (1.8 or 2mm) with a low pressure on the air, and a good flow of paint will produce the spatter. Just reduce the air pressure to about 6 to 10 PSI  (0.4 to 0.7 bar) and it should work.

We run a second pot and regulators just for the spatter, as it is difficult to set it up twice the same and you cannot take a second pass without it looking wrong. Too high air pressure and you get a "mist" which takes the shine off the coat underneath, to low pressure and the droplet size becomes difficult to control. 

Keep all the offcuts of wood, the round bits from where you cut out the speakers etc as test panels ... spray them up with the base coat, and then use them to set up the spatter coat at the end.

If you use a proper Spatter Gun, you will have a third control which allows you, together with a pressure Pot or Diaphragm setup, to change the size of the spatter. For best results the proper equipment is essential. So that it's clear, with a pressure pot, the idea is to turn the air right down while still getting a flow of paint coming through the Nozzle, which is where the pressure pot come in. You also need to be using the thickest paint you can get, and don't thin it down.

TONY.A.S.S., what about primer? Do you use it? Of course it's unnecessary but it tends to paint economy.
