Whats Up With The Extreme's Annodize?

[magman007]

what about powdrcoating? you say this after tom works long and hard to get an annodizeable aluminum body out and you say waht about powdercoating? WHY? we can do that already, thats old news, and no one wants it! Sure you can powdercoat it, but that would be pointless.

As for jah, we know some are out ao whack, and personally, if i were marketing a marker, even if it was my personal one on display, i would have it matching perfectly. Thats just me, but if it is for people to see, i would have it out. As for every one crying, then oh freekin well. We expressed our opinions, let us. Dont get on us for that. IT isnt cool. My opinions were cares, i have my sfl riding on these, i already stated that. ALso tom provided us wth a logical explination for the colors. LIVE WITH IT NOW!

Lets just forget it nnow ok?

I think that selling the flawed or test units here on AO would be a great idea. I'll buy one for sure, anyone want a kidney:P? So what if the front color is only black or silver, that's still more than on a GZ. Besides, if Ihad one, noone would notice, they'd be too busy wiping my paint off thei goggles!

I believe the reason emotion is running so high on this thread is that everyone wants this marker to succeed so bad they're gonna explode. Rightly so, it's hella tight! We also know how ignorant and fickle the rest of the paintball world can be, and all of a sudden something like sketchy anno jobs on the first dozen ot so seems like a big deal. Don't freak out, AGD is as public with their bad stuff as their good, you know a lot of bad crap goes on at WDP, but they won't tell anyone about it. You lucky few with Xmags, don't just shoot 'em, rock 'em! Get people stoked about them and they'll come around.

"Because they are a combination of extruded and machined aluminum parts they are very hard to match."

Tom,
Could the problem be fixed if all the parts were polished before they were anodized?

[snakestang]

WooHoo I even have a pic in someone else' sig! I have made it big time now. You bet I will be showing it off! Thanks again Paul.

There's something I feel you are missing, Cliff. Any average Joe can go down to CUP and take pictures, just like the pic of the Angel stuck in the ground "because it failed and was thrown in anger" or whatever. That same average Joe can then go and freely post those pictures on the internet, the internet is kinda funny in that "Freedom of Speech/Press" kinda way.

Now, like any good-looking celebrity will tell you, removing pictures from the internet is like trying to get pee out of a swimming pool - it's darn near impossible.

I fail to see why everyone is jumping on AGD about this picture. From what I've read, Tom kept the blue and decided not to produce them because the colors were too difficult. I have also gathered that the yellow DID look fine, that it was a bad picture. How is it Tom's fault that someone didn't know what they were doing when they took the pic?

Perhaps AGD sould copyright the likeness of the Extreme and sue any/everyone that takes, post, draws, or dreams pictures of the Extreme.

I find this thread to be inflamitory and over-critical. Not to mention ridiculous.

But he has a right to voice his opinion and $.02....even if it is a "late hit".

The rest of what you said I will just ignore....it holds little weight until they make you a moderator.

Pictures say a 1000 words - one of those words is "Illusion"

This pic was taken from RobAGD's post on the World Cup thread. It's supposed to be silver to blue fade but it looks gold. I'll explain why.



The Tequila Sunrise X-mag and the Silver-to-Blue (yes, it's Silver) had an odd color breech and whatnot because of light refraction. The tent that AGD is in is a huge white tent, but to better display the rest of the mags (and quite possibly for some more shade) they have a large yellow cloth or tarp behind their set up (see pic)



Take anyone of the X-mags into pure white light or sunlight and you will see the true color of the X-mag. Do not judge the X-mag from a pic. I have been to the World cup and Tom's X-mag was the only one with an odd color breech.

i wanna see some straight extreme emag pics


anybody take any pictures of the extremes?



PS.OBEY, could you say x-mag a few more times?
:)

[Obey]

X-mag/Extreme it's all the same thing and you get the point of my post. See the World Cup thread for the pics of the EXTREME's (that better?)

[1stdeadeye]

Colors, eh?

My Rt is black and scratched. Guess what I don't care!!!!

I want an extreme as soon as possible. I am not a little poser who wants to run around showing off his marker. I want to play!! The marker should be covered with splatter, no hits of course!

Hey Tom,
A black c&c X-Mag will work just fine for me thanks!
