can I run water down my main body to clean it?
Yes

I want to have a black main body... how can I do that?
Have it powder coated. Or, buy on from AGD.


Is there any way I can do it myself instead of getting it anodized or powder coated?
Spray paint it. It just won't last long.


what is the difference between powder coating and anodizing
Powder coating is for metal products.
Anodizing is for aluminum. (Its sort of a dying process.)


are they expensive
Powder coating is affordable.
Anodizing is expensive to do on single peace's.

well thanks.. by the way will buying a new main body be cheaper than powder coating?

[Omicron]

Powder coating is usually very affordable, it would be cheaper to powdercoat then to get a new body.

Powder coating a Mag body is generaly around $20-$25 while a new body would cost around $100 depending on the type.
