How come both of my Tippmanns (A5 and model 98)the paint is peeling off? I know I should repaint it, but why is this happening and how can I prevent this from happening again after it's repainted.

It don't matter if you win by an inch or by a mile. Winning's winning.

Shadow, It's not giving us permission to view. Paint gets chipped, water gets to aluminum, Aluminum powders, paint peels. Treat it just like a car when you repaint it. strip it, get all contaminants off, prime and paint with high quality auto enamel. I have also found getting rid of all the sharp edges helps with chipping alot.

This happens when you don't clean your gun or take good care of it. |

There is no way around it, regardless on how much care has been done to avoid chipping paint...jus like what Liquid3 stated, treat it as if it was a car that is need of a new paintjob....grrrrr that reminds me, I gotta started savin up, I do need some serious body mods and a paintjob for my truck if I want it pictured in a magazine...

He didn't mention chipping paint, he mentioned peeling paint. Those are two totally different problems. |

Chipping or peeling...it really doesnt matter, repainting is still required. |

Oil the paint, and keep oil on it when you store it. My buddies also use those armor-all wipe things.

I want to repaint my gun but I don't want to spend 100 or mess it up myself.

It doesn' t cost $100 to paint it if you want a professional job. Powder
coat for two reciever halves can be as low as $25-$30. |
