If you own a black marker and want to add a little custom look to it without painting it follow these steps:

1.  Take out the screws that you want to dress up. 

2.  Put the screws in an electric drill.

3.  While spinning the screws, sand down the heads a little for a chrome look.

4.  If you want a little extra shine, sand down a little more with a sheet of computer paper.

if u have a sweet gun and it can shoot fast and is upgraded a lot who cares what ur screws look like. its like import cars. they put the body kits and decals on it and which i think look cool but they dont make the car go ne faster. in my opinion i would rather have a sleeper import car. in which no body uprgardes just engine.

Is the paint on the screws the only defense against rust?

His name is riceboy, I think he's a ricer, so yeah, leave it to ricers to come up with this stupid stuff.  Oh man I hate ricers in paintball.

You betcha. Give it a try and find out. Like Tippmann would put expensive alloy screws with rust inhibitors on a cheap gun like a Model 98 or A-5.
Which falls faster, a lead ball or your IQ after reading some of these posts?
