as for upgrades.. there are loads, just have a look on any well reputed paintball shop website and im sure there will be some things.
short list:
trigger,
feedneck,
bolt,
board,
barrel.
or, if it works fine now ... go to your local site and spend the money on playing i promise you it will make a lot more of an improvement to your game if you practice rather than change your gear.

I know this is gonna be a bit of a downer, but I have a tip about upgrading.
Don't do it.
You know what you end up with if you upgrade a mini? - an expensive mini.
Spend your money playing paintball.
If you must, save up all the cash you would have dropped on the upgrades for an Ego9 or a DM9.

so why cant you respray them, my dad works at a car bodyshop garage and i was thinking hed be anle to do it there
It's because paintball guns are anodised. Not sprayed, more a chemical process. Does much more than just to change the colour. Which i am sure some 1 else will be able to explain in greater detail.
To be honest, one of the only upgrades i did to my mini was to get a carbon fibre Stiffi barrel. Was just a nice upgrade over the stock but other than that, there is no need to do anything else as it tourny legal and nothing you can spend any more money on will change it drastically.
Hope this helps

Anodising is what we do to our guns.. if you look at the thread i linked it gives some examples.
I believe when a gun is anodised it is more of a staining of the metal a different colour. unlike when you spray it and you layer a colour on top.
the problem with spraying a gun is that it will inevitable all fall off after some play time.. i mean if you take it out it will hit a tree or the ground or a zip on your kit bag and a slight scratch will happen.. then it will be rubbed against something and it will start peeling away.
if you really want to upgrade.. go for a barrel. or better yet a barrel kit.
you have a marker that is autococker threaded.. and so when you buy a new gun the likelyhood is that you can transfer any barrel you buy for this one on to a newer gun.

Is there anything that you don't like about your mini? If so, change something that will make it work how you want it to. Otherwise, leave it alone and spend money on playing.
Spraying your mini will knacker it - you need to have it anodise, which chemically bonds the colour to the metal. Paint WILL flake off and look horrible, as well as most likely going on so thick as to prevet parts screwing together, or moving freely.....
