Abstract: Recently derived general formal solutions of a BRST quantization on inner product spaces of irreducible Lie group gauge theories are applied to trivial models and relativistic particle models for particles with spin 0, 1/2 and 1. In the process general quantization rules are discovered which make the formal solutions exact. The treatment also give evidence that the formal solutions are directly generalizable to theories with graded gauge symmetries. For relativistic particles reasonable results are obtained although there exists no completely Lorentz covariant quantization of the coordinate and momenta on inner product spaces. There are two inequivalent procedures depending on whether or not the time coordinate is quantized with positive or indefinite metric states. The latter is connected to propagators.
