This may not help you any. But, if you are a student, AutoDesk has a great program called Mudbox, and you can get a copy to use if you have a student email account. The only caveat is that you will need to watch youtube videos or read the help me files to figure out how to use it.

I don't know of any special tuts or conversion software out there in this community that addresses how to use it with .obj files. I've actually had to export from O2 in .max format, then open it in 3ds Max....then exported again as .fbx and imported into Mudbox. You can basically use mudbox to paint the object while it's in it's natural 3d shape, and if you have problems painting specific areas, you just hit a button to flatten UV and it unwraps everything for you all on one 2d plane.

I'm still learning it as well, but will post back if I have any further helpful information.
