looks good compared to stock. sorry but you made the mistake of not getting high enough grade sand paper - which would of left it smooth as a babies bum with no marks ;) but looks better than stock all the same.

take care. Chris;)

im lacking the heart (really i just cant be assed) to put more putty on, then prime it all again, then paint it all again, then clear coat it (which was crap anyway cos the paint chipped off) :( might sand it and send it in to sloth for anno ;p

When you say "Putty" what exactly do you mean?
I would have used Isopon P38 Car body filler, the Easy sand variety.
Something smooth and flat and some soapy water, to smooth it over while it was still going off...then finish with wet and dry.

The frame is excellent..explain more of what you did with that, because it is very good.

k i better be honest, these pics are VERY decieving :/ the frame is not smooth what so ever, i used 80 grit sand paper to take offf the powder coat, then uised wet and dry, however being the idiot i am they gouges were pritty big and couldnt be gotten rid of, and i just used some crap "putty" from halfords ;/ once i get some more money im gona do it all over again, hopefully ill have a much better finish on both the frame and the shell, i read some guides on ionowners and apparently soaking the frame in acetone makes the paint fall off with a lil work, but seemingly you need a liscene to sell acid over here and its hard to come by (i couldnt be bothered looking)

the project was disturbed by the fact i kept having to rebuild the marker to use it so i didnt really get to half a long graft at it, mabey once i get a new gat this one can stay apart for a few months and i can really make it a trophy gat

not a bad idea i guess, ill keep it in mind next time i shred it to pieces,

if anyone has any crappy old shells they dont want then ill try my best to convert them into something that resembles mine for you, however i emphisise old and crappy cos i cant promise a consistant finished product
