What exactly is the black coating that is found on the black SS AM bodiies? I have heard it referred to as teflon coated, is this correct? Will oven cleaner take it off or should I use paint stripper?

WTF! I literally just posted this same question in the main Paintball talk section after you did today! I haven't even come in the Tech forum for a couple weeks. Weird.
But, yeah, I want to find out more about it to.
Teflon spray is typically applied to heated metal and then baked. The heating opens the pores of the metal and allows the spray to penetrate the metal for extra grip. It will probably be hard to remove, but it is possible and should remove with paint stripper. If not, just use sandpaper and steel wool. That always works on stainless steel bodies.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
Can it be done at home, or must it be sent to a company specializing in that?
It can be done at home. You can buy teflon paint.
I gotta check out Lowes then. I wonder if it will be as durable as the kind applied by AGD, that stuff is pretty tough. I might even use it to blacken a polished RT body I have so the gun can match it's factory black twin.
Yeah, but you want to put it on, I want to take it off...lol.Originally Posted by Konigballer
so you just want a plain SS body, power feed left? power feed right? pump milled?
I can just trade you straight up
It's not teflon. These bodies were dipped in acid causing a chemical reaction that turns them black.
Any idea which acid was used? How long was it left on? From the way the black is on the body I have, it looks like the body would have been sprayed and not dipped. They definitely would have had to cork it or something since the inside is still raw.Originally Posted by Tunaman
