      that job probably would cost you more than your A5 and second before you powder coat make sure that you you blast the crap out of it if you don't powder coat won't stick if any of you plow then you know of the western plow story of their powder coating.

      rifles are a lot different to pball guns trust me weapons grade steel ws. alummuim

        i wonder if we would need to strip off the original anodizing before we attempt any of these ideas

          The DuraCoat stuff likes ano because it has microscopic pores that give a great surface to stick to.

              Both actually but I only have one of the markers still. I'll get some pics up later if I get some time.

                Don't strip the anno. Leave it on. It makes what could be basically a primer coat.
                I've powdercoated and used Brownells Teflon Moly on different firearms and p-ball guns with good results.

                    are there any shops near you??
                    im gonna get my wheels powder coated and i found a few local powder coating shops that are super cheap....they were asking around $50 per rim. 17x8 in rims (with prep work). so im assuimg that a marker should be much cheaper than that....

                              I've been wanting to try this too. I just bought a whole Duracoating kit from Lauer Custom Weaponry last week. I'm going to try it out some time within the next few days.

                              Benefits for paintballers:
                              1) No ovens.
                              2) Any materials- aluminum, plastic, or whatever. Paint your hopper, your grips, or whatever you want.
                              3) Few special tools. No sandblasting, no acids.
                              4) Not too expensive. I'm going to end up spending about $250 for parts & materials to do probably 3 or 4 markers. Buying more material will be even cheaper after that.
                              5) Lots of patterns- solid colors, fades, digital camo, etc.
                              6) More colors than any other option I've found. From bright electrics to military colors (like H&K black, SOCOM blue, Uzi green).

                              I'll post pics within a week or so. I think it will be really cool.
