Looks nice. I think a nice powder coat would look great. What color were you thinking of? The obvious choise would be black (you can never go wrong with black and chrome) but a nice fade would also be cool.

Are you planning of getting a Retro eventualy? A Warp?

Hope to see the next set of pics. :cool:

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

acuually, i was thinking of a red to silver fade on the gas thru body rail and body... make it red in front and right before the power feed fade to silver having a horizontal spilt throughout the gun. and i want to pic up some red stickys tryin to lose the black, my gun will be red and chrome when i finish her.

[pito189]

Why is the grip frame on backwards in the last picuture?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

u didnt hear about all the talk with tom and his "y" Grip? i was immitating him lol....

[iisp0tii]

hows that carbon fiber workin for ya??? i might get one of them if it works good.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

well havent used it on the field yet.. and when i got it there wasnt enuff air in the tank to propell the ball so i coudlnt see if it was anygood. it seems ok to me its my first aftermarket barrel so we'll find out when i play.

[hawpunch]

hey aliens,

looking good...i see you got the that mess with the foregrip/drop all seperated. i'm glad that its of more use to you than it was to me. if you get the fade, you'll have a dead sexy mag :). good luck!

aloha,

jae park

[AGDmagman2001]

Great looking gun, that powder coating sceme sound interesting, Good luck on you path to the top ;)

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

ya hawpunch, u really had a mess of stuff, ive never seen so much teflon tape on stuff, looks like u and the teflon got in a fight and it won! sheesh and that screw was in there, i just let the thing soak for 10 minutes in wd40 and tried to take it off again, but the screw seemed stripped for my allen wrench so i took my hammer and my allen wrench and banged it in the screw, then it worked... well thx again hawpunch. hey u got anything else lyin around u could take off your hands?

[hawpunch]

LOL! yeah, i had that done when i first got into paintball. i had read somewhere that teflon tape was used to stop leaks, so i figured i'd make sure there were no leaks by applying teflon everywhere :). ah the days of being a paranoid paintball newbie...wait a minute, i'm still a newbie ;). its a miracle that you were able to seperate the asa from the drop...:eek: what are you looking for? i have some brand new blue dye sticky grips around...i'll take a look and see if anything else pops up :p.

aloha,

jae park

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

and sheesh u even put it on where the macroline conects... oh well... um im lookin for red dye stickys... mabey some whay u could get red stikys for those blue ones and id give u my black ones? um other than that im just lookin for nipple savers, in Red/chrome aluminum, or red rubber, right now there is green and that looks odd. mabey a better nitro tank... hmm but the parents are getting all pissy about me putting money into my paintball gun and all the money i put into it could get me 2 semestiers of college books... crap like that. heck im only 16!

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

up

[Dubstar112]

lol.. i noticed that you used actual phone jacks.. never thought of that... heres how I did my inteliframe: I made it so the cord came completley off ;)

[Vil3]

one suggestion.. Put the sight rail back on made it look a whole lot snazzier

[Telefragged]

Interesting intellifeed, I'm curious as to how you did that, it looks a lot cleaner and more professional then some of the other ones I've seen. Does it require any additional drilling/soldering? Or did you jsut run the wires to phone jacks instead of plugs and make it come out the bottom? Looks cool.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

well i had to cut a bigger whole than normaly to put in the phonejack reciver, then i took the green and red wires from the reciever and connected then likenormal intelli feed says, then i took a phone cord and cut it open on one end and solderd the red and green wires to the roller switch wich is located in the grip frame. not really hard, i just didnt like the idea of this big cylidrical thing hanging down on my beuatiful mag :D

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

here are some updaded pics!

I got a flatline, and i started polising the body, i changed my mind about the powdercoating for now, but im about to get a j&j barrel set and the tips are purpl ( :( )so im thinkin of getting the gun & tips for the set anodized to a lava acidwash! it will look tight! ok here are the pics (tank bought from dubstar112)

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

other one

[Dubstar112]

Ahh!.. I miss my tank already!.. lol.. Oh well... Im gettin a new one though:)(68/4500 PMI :))

[Croix71]

Looks better and better with every improvement! :D

[chw32587]

the gun just keeps lookin beter and beter

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

new pic :)

[Clare]

I like those tips! :D

[cphilip]

Looking good but time to lose the red Macro. Need black now.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

eh.... there purple, not fond of the color, but i got them in a trade for my silver membership so i am not conplaining :)

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

oh and cphill i plan on bringing black outa the gun and getting a red and chrome scheem(sp?)

[Clare]

would you be interested in selling one of your purple tips?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

only if i got some red ones :)

[Clare]

darn, I've got a black J&J tip I need to get rid of

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

well since these are like new, you could buy them from J&J and trade me :) id give u a barrel bag free ;)

[chw32587]

that doesnt look bad with the purple tips....but I think that if u got a purple tank cover to match the tips itd look sweet

[suicide machine]

ok this is just a idea, get your gun powercoated black ,i mean every thing i-frame, your j&j tips. and send it to like g3pb, or some other shop that does anos, and get a lighting bolt on the side and have it match the barrels. it looks really sweet on mags. i know it cost a arm and a leg but it worth it.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

i have a plan for this gun, once i get everything i want i am gonna get it ano'ed a fire/lava acid wash... looks soo sweet but ya ano cost soo much

[Xen]

you cant anno that mini body since annodizing only works on aluminum, fyi

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

in knew that already... but thanks for noteing that to the newbies who are lookin at my stuff

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

well i got a dropzone2 (thanks magmanone) i traded coffe for a automag body and im waiting on a freak and a warp but here she is as of now.

[Dubstar112]

Hows the flatline treatin ya?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

hasnt let me down, and its been doin its job... and im glad for that. thanks again. hehe you guys gotta see what i did to the rail tonight... when i get my freak you guys will see :P

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

here is it with the freak, also got warp and level 10
*edit* big thanks to blazestorm for level 10 warp anda blue freak insert thanks alot man, you are soo cool.

[Spray Painter]

that awesome. keep up the good work. what are you going to get next?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

im gonna look into having it powdercoated at someplace with quick turnaround time. then some red gel grips and mabey 45/45k flatline.

[Blazestorm]

Who are you gonna thank for that lvl 10, warp, and blue insert? :)

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

heres a update, im wating for my red grips from retro and im getting a red 14" aa freak front so ill update again then.

[Hacker240]

sexcellent!

[rikkter]

pop that blade trigger out and polish it, might just have to use a high grit paper and buffer it just like that. i did it to mine and it came out hella sweet
also, wtf did you do to your rail? i know you milled it but, maye better pictures of it?

[Cryer]

You should check out DYE's new sticky 3. One of these would look frickin SWEET on you nickel I-frame. (They do come in red)

http://www.dyeprecision.com/sticky_order.html

These are sweet!

[rikkter]

in the pictures they used their smoke as clear. i hope anyways. i'm getting intelli and clear grips for my mag. so. but i like their new grips, i just wanna see a pic of the CLEAR ones first.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

well the red ones are saposed to be in the mail already... but yes those new dye grips do look killer...

[Cryer]

How did you polish your body (remove the blast gray finish)?
And does that void the warranty like painting it does?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

dont think it voids the warrenty but i just used sandpaper... i went 320, 600, 800, then 1000 (grit)

[rikkter]

then use dremel and buff it and voila

[CRog075]

Damn, with all that money u spent on upgrades....you coulda bought a good gun......

[rikkter]

since when have mags become not good guns?

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

right......... this is a good gun, im sure it will out perform anyone you have unless its a emag or xmag. please refrain from posting unless you have something constructive to say :) have a nice day
