If you bought a "second" then it is clearly not mint condition, you should expect faults with the paint that is why it is a second and costs less than a normal marker.i wish u told me this when i asked about the etek2 seconds ! i bought a apperently mint condition one which has got numerous defaults on the paint work barrel/regulator and generally the gun !!! first purchase/little faith !!!(also programing the eteks is tricky to say the least a lcd on the etek3's please)
then drop them a pm, and i am very sure they will sort you out, and any other questions ask about there are a few guys who will help you outnumber 1 i didnt buy a second i bought a "first" apperently
number 2 i do find the programming on the etek tricky im a total noob and do not understand the terms in the manual (thats my error)
also im a junior plumber and i am quite used to diagnosing faults/programming via a led/lcd display/interface (i still find the etek tricky) and i also started a apprenticeship as a tool maker (before my boss's son wanted a apprenticeship) so have a slight idea of the operation of the etek and its build quality (which i must say are very good) i can find no fault with the machining just the paint job ! anyway i will be sending pictures to eclipse as requested by a memer of their staff tomo even though i have decided to keep the marker anyway !
