actually id like to know as well, how do they do that type of paint coating and if it's something very easily capable of doing at home. Cause I painted my gun and it started 2 chip in 2 months

Powder coating CANNOT be done at home, unless you have a very rich daddy. The paint particles have to be magnetically charged before they are sprayed on, and then they have to be baked on. There are plenty of stickys and such on this fourm on how to properly paint your marker, look around for them.

Look in the phonebook to try and find places around your town. If you can't find any, there are some places online that you can sent your gun to. It would depend on the place as to how long and how much.

I imagine it would look like crap. Theres a reason powdercoating is done by professionals.

Look in the yellow pages under metal treating or powdercoating to find a local place. Some places will only do large batch orders, others will do small orders.

Keep in mind if you find a place to do it, youre responsible for only sending in the parts you want powdercoated. And since the powdercoating process includes baking the parts at high tempertures, make absolutely sure you remove EVERYTHING from the gun halves.

Sin Customs and Whitewolf both do powdercoating I believe. They might be gone by now though.

 They were my home field before they closed.... But for now they do Anno and Powder coating. Very good prices and fine work! The site might be closed for some thing or whatever but when its up and running I strongly recomend you look here for Powder coating.

regardless...the powder is poisonous and if it gets onto the surface of the standard cooking oven, you can get sick/die...hence the need for a dedicated oven.
