For CO2 you would need a Liquid Draw CO2 tank (available from BOC or National Paintball Games), a fill rig, some scales (oz) and a lesson in how to fill properly.
For Air you need a compressed air tank (dive tank or BOC) and a fill rig.
Fill rigs can be bought form most PB suppliers (Planet etc.)
You would have to get the CO2 tank filled by either taking it to your nearest BOC or making a deal with a PB supplier or buy a v expensive 300 bar air compressor for air.
Be careful on pressures with air (tanks and bottles) as you can cause quite a lot of damage to your marker if you get it wrong.
HTH.

I would also sugest
Buying it from a reputable local source if new and then see if they will fill it for you.
Or making friends with your local site owner we don't all bite.
if you are looking for a constant supply then I agree with all of the above but make sure you are doing it safley Co2 can give you a nasty freeze burn at the best and if the bottle is not securly attached it can or you are not holding it can really wind you god help you if it hits the jewlz
Remember with co2 you should always wear gloves and eye protection and never hold the bottle to your ear. I assume you are talking new equipment but if it's second hand check the marker bottle is with in date is sound so no bumps or dents.
If you are planningto shot yur marker at home take a few sencible precortions netting and warning the neibour if you have any always better to have them on side than the police round every 2 mins.

fiil station
it costs more to make a fill station,than it costs to buy one complete
probally a good thing though,as ive still got all my body parts in the same place as they started

to sum everyone up. it seems like it would be better to just go and have your tank filled somewhere. unless you have a ton of money, time, and no worry of bodily or marker injury if you screw up.
