unpolished black aluminum is the best color available.

I have both the shiny chrome and also black. I play both scenario and speedball, guns for both! In woods the nickel/chrome will shine a lot more than you think and give away position very easily! My two cents.

Chrome looks great.. Right after you polish it and stuff.. But the fingerprints and such show pretty easilly.. So I would say black.

im going for a nickel mag right now, but I think black would be alot easier, because not all the nickel's and chromes would look the same, and its really obvious on a nickel/chrome gun.

you have problems with people seein your gun? and they dont know where you are untill they see your shiny gun? maybe you play a different style of PB than I do. Shiny guns never have givn me trouble, and when my opponent has them it makes it no easier.

I'm not saying it is a huge problem but once in a while, say you are crawling and the sun hits your gun just the right way and flashes some light in the opponenets direction, yes the chrome has given my spot away!

black, my mag is mostly chrome and or nickel... and I can tell ya, the fingerprints never go away, its impossible to clean it to the perfect shine. But then again it looks cool from a distance:p

I know this is an old thread, but I was curious (looks aside) which finish will last longer and which is easier to scratch. I've seen ADGs black pieces and they look really good. Aside from the fingerprints, I would think that the nickel would be the way to go for durability. Am I wrong? Is their chrome/nickel finish just as good as the black? Thanks!

I'm guessing scratches on a Chrome body would be less noticeable seeing as it's closer to the color of un-annodized aluminum.

RED YOU FOOL!!!!!

My favorite color :)

Chrome/nickel really shows all the fingerprints and whatnot that you get when handling your gun, all of the nice pics of chrome/nickel guns posted on the boards were most likely polished/buffed up first to get it shine

All black is nice if you get a nice rail :)

I'm gonna have to go with black. I am extremely partial to black guns. They look uber sleek, and finding matched parts is easy! Check out one of my black beasts:
