Custom Paint

[MrJerryCan]

Hi, newb here
I was wondering if any of you guys have given you gun a lick of paint or something.
If so :
1. what paint did you use
2. what finish did you use
3 how long would it last
thanks

NOOOOO! Marker bodies are generally aluminium and also made to fine tolerances. Use paint and it won't bond properly and may even stop your marker working at all. The only time I've seen it work was on the outside of something basic like a Tipman 98c, and that flaked off within a few months.
Anodising the way to go, but can be pricey - mine cost me £35 for just some of the parts - so it's by far easiest to simply buy a gun in the colours you like unless you have a desperate desire for a special colour scheme

I had mine done via droid annodising on facebook. Totally happy with their service and results.
