So what do you think?

Paint + paintball markers = :nono:

Nice Mag, but the Ninja Turtle green has got to go.

Also, how the heck do you play with that hose going from the vert ASA to the valve?

Do you only shoot lefty?

Also, I would suggest slightly smaller screws for the velocity lock.

Re-route the hose, get smaller locking screws, find a black teflon, gray, or SS body (and barrel) and you'll have yourself a very respectable piece of equipment.

the screws arent there to lock it, they are to get more grip for turn it, havent had time to make a differnt velosity adjuster so that is gonna be fixed.

i like the hose where i have it i shoot left most of the time but its also surpirsingly comfortable righty

this paint job is only a temporary fix untill i get a ULE body

Just get it powdercoated.

End of story.

yeah it was supposed to make it like a turtle shell texture, like really hard and bumpy but i think i may have used a bit too much paint on it because its not very textrured

[don miguel]

i painted mine gold. :D did you use spraypaint, cuz spraypaint sucks for guns.

[mobsterboy]

if its spraypaint, finish it with a couple coats of "clear coat" and then bake it...srsly. bout 130ish. Same process they use for cars. hang it in the oven, bake it for about 10 to 15 minutes, and the coats, if done right, will harden up and give you a lasting, well for spray paint at least, hard finish.

OtterSCCustoms.com FTMFW, he has a whole page about homedone paintjobs

[turbo chicken]

spray paint isn't bad ... you just have to use quality paint... and use a similar process they use to paint a car. Bondo if the mood strikes you (add something to the body)... sand and primer at least 2 times... apply basecoat 2-3 layers ... apply clear coat/sealant ..bake to cure the paint(you can actually do this in the oven) and wa la.

I'm not saying that it won't scratch/chip and eventyally wear off but is should take a lot longer than just applying a coat of krylon gloss paint.

[FARMER00]

i got 2 coats primer, 3 paint, and 5 clear coat

[mobsterboy]

i got 2 coats primer, 3 paint, and 5 clear coat

this paint job is only a temporary fix untill i get a ULE bodyDon't forget the ULE body isn't twist lock. You'll have to get a 'Cocker barrel too.
