Red Tiger 98 Custom

Alright, here's the deal i bought a Tippmann 98 Custom for 15$. It wasn't working at the time, so i bought it anyway. it came with a flatline barrel, an expansion chamber, and some other add ons. Before i bought the gun, i took it apart and took the flatline barrel off. Here is what the gun looked like before i started to do anything to it. Yes, i do know that on the end pictures of the gun the gas line hose is not hooked up, i had to take it off because it wasn't the right house for the expansion chamber, i have a new hose on the way to my house.



I then sandblasted the gun to get all the old paint off of it, so that i could begin painting it how i wanted it. i didn't take any pictures at this point because i forgot too. I then primed the gun, and painted it black. Here's what it looked like.



After i painted it black, i made a camo stencil out of a cereal box, heres a picture of the stencil. I took this picture after i painted the gun, because i forgot to take a picture of it beforehand.



I think placed the stencil over the part of the gun i wanted to paint red, and covered the rest of the gun up with newspaper. After i finished painting the gun it looked pretty good in my opinion.



I then put the gun back together again, painted the screws to match the gun and took a look at the gun it looked pretty sick.




I think the gun looks pretty good, but i know a few of you on here could do it much better, this though is my first painting of any paintball gun.

my buddys havent seen mine yet since i only did it yesterday but once theyll do theyll probobly want em to get theirs done up kinda like mine but differant colors 

yeah it is, i just bought an adjustable sight rail, and i think it kind of looks stupid on the gun. what do you think? That's a different gun by the way, i have 2 98 customs.

i didnt even notice that until you pointed it out, and now that i look at it, it doesn't look right.
