Whats Up With The Extreme's Annodize?

[Cliffio]

whats up with the annodizing on some of those extremes in the cup pictures?

i mean a yellow to red fade and the breech is a totally different color of yellow? and toms extreme, the breech is about 4 shades darker??

why in the world would you take your newest, latest and greatest maker to the WOLRD CUP (only the biggest paintball display of the year) with cosmetic flaws? havent we already learned that people like flashy? they like flashy guns, flashy boxes, but yet we still make up some excuse to why the markers look the way they do. im not trying to flame agd or the extreme, im saying if your gonna bring you best, and try to compete with the angels and the cockers, and the others, why would you take your seconds?

just asking

not up to par, if you ask me

[magman007]

well, sorry guys, im gunna catch hell for this, bot the olny extremes that have come out with a good anno scheme so far that i have noticed, are Clares, Manikes, PAuls, ANd Paintchecks... the anno is lookin pretty poor....

Sorry guys, but im Dissapointed, i would have never taken those markers to the cup...

THe body heating up differently story to mee seems pretty made up... Different thicknesses? bull crap. If i can match my batterypack to my body rail in my basement, there is a problem if agd or pk cant match a breach to a body. I have no fade experience, but the thing that really matters is the dying process, and the time you leve it in the dye. For a good solid color, just let everything soak in the dye, until it cant soak up any more dye, then cure the metal, it isnt hard people!

I have to agree that does look bad. I remember someone that bought 1 of the ones at th IAO say someting about their gun and breech not matching. I hope they fix that. Before I get mine.

Cliff, were you at the Cup or did you just see the pictures?

I saw most of the guns they had there and I can tell you that all of the ones I saw looked flawless.

I may not have seen the ones you are refering to or the pictures may have changed the appearance, but they all looked good to me.

[Cliffio]

i can see the pictures. can you not? it does not matter if i saw the markers or not, a picture is worth a thousand words, if they show up in the picture, id double up on them showing up in person, its a poor excuse to say its the pictures

[Cliffio]

ALSO, if i can see it every other person can see it, these cup pics will be passed around every website for the next X months, for everyone LIKE me who didnt go to cup, what do you think they will say? do you think they will say, "well agd said it was pk's fault" or do you think they will say, "look at how mad this annodize is"

just something to keep in mind

for refference, i have seen tom,s up close when i took an agd tour, the breach and battery pack dont match well at all....

[Kevmaster]

yeh. all the Extremes i saw at the IAO(in persoN) had bad breeches

[magman007]

yea, and this is some one's problem, and it needs to be fixed. Why olny these extremes? why not sfl's? or regualr extremes?

How can thickness be an issue? if it were, then the thin parts by the valve would be off color also...

[Rooster]

Its most likely becuase of two differnt processes being used to make the different parts, and the anno bringing that out. Ultimately, if it takes alot of money to make two very similar peices that will anno perfectly, the company has to ask is the extra money worth the shiney matching. Since Tom is not stupid, I think we have arrived at an answer to this question.

[rpm07]

Well I doubt that is Toms answer to leave them like that.
And if it is I dont think I will spend $1300.00 for it.
As for it costing to much money to make it match I find it not likly. There are alot of low end guns that have matching parts.

you might as well of just painted it on with a brush with that quality

[PaintballSucka]

maybe someone is outta fashion.

I am not 100% on this but I am going to say that the markers coming from the UK were not done by PK. It really bothers me to see these breeches coming out looking so bad. As for showing them at World Cup, well I dont really know what to say about that other then, they really should have been perfect.

My best friend has a blue Extreme from IAO and the breeches are close but still not up to par.

My question is this. Why are the Extremes in the UK perfect and PK's are not? Mine is flawless in every way. As a matter of fact the warp breech was annoed well after the marker and it matches PERFECTLY.

Maybe they need to start using another anno source.
