    I would reccomend not painting it. The paint doesn't usually hold up that well. I would have it powdercoated. I know if you look in the Dealer's Forum you can find Paintballbeaver's Powder Coat thread. I had my Mag body coated for $20 total (that included shipping both ways) He does good work. He will also keep redoing it until you are happy with the results. I was happy with what I got back the first time though. I hope that helped.
    It came to a point in my life when it was either pay the rent or buy paintball gear. I think I made the wise choice. If anyoneone needs me I'm livin in a van down by the river.

          They can't be annoed. Well I'm glad it turned out well for you. Post some pics. Also share any tips that you used to make it turn out better. Im sure there are plenty of people who would be interested in them.
