    What do you think i should do?

    I am wondering. someone here told me i can not get this body painted.

    I have a 68AUTOMAG Standard Feed body....and if i cant get that painted is there another body that i can get that use the twist lock system?

    You can paint it, but it will peel off very fast. The only way to effictively 'paint' a stainless steel body is by powdercoating it.

    Or you also have the option of buying an alluminum body like the ULE and getting it annodized, which is a much more expensive route.

      who told you that you cant paint that body? of course you can. sand, primer then paint and maybe a clear coat. if you want to you can also use a rubbing compund when the clear coat has dried.

      this is what i did with my old body:



      oh yea make sure you dont paint the underbody where it touches the rail.

        or just buying a ULE body in the color that you want. THe ule body is one of the best upgrades for the mag, it is like a completely different and better gun.

              no need to get a freak, or any kit for that matter. Just get 1 big bore (like a .692) barrel and be done with it.

                  Paint will scratch fairly easily if it's just a base coat. If you sand the body with 400 grit, then prime it. Spray on 1-2 coats of base, followed by 2-3 coats of clear, it should pretty durable.
                  My feedback is available here.

                      an intelliframe is not an electronic frame.

                              No you can't adjust it.

                              And don't bother with a freak because there's no need to match paint in an open bolt gun. And even if you do decide to get a kit, don't bother with a Freak..
