 On a serious note, there is a sticky in the Upgrades and Customizing forum regarding custom paintjobs. Take a look at it. One of the biggest things to remember when painting anything is to properly prep it. Make sure you clean it prior to painting with a good degreaser like mineral spirits and I always recommend taking it apart. Be patient, take your time and remember, it's only paint. If you mess up too badly, you can always just strip it back down and start over.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the nameplates like the US Army medallion and the Project Salvo nameplate can be removed pretty easily by using a hair dryer to heat the glue holding them on and pulling them off. Edited by oldpbnoob - 02 May 2010 at 10:23pm |

Cyclone is a must. It's my favorite feeding system. It gives flexibility on how many rounds you want to take downrange

That looks nice and clean man. I'm already repainting my gun either digi camo or tiger stripe but now I might change to a colour scheme like yours.

Looks sharp. I just bought mine, my first marker and looking to do something very similar. But a little hesitant to take it apart.
