I decided to do a custom body on my Ion and this is what i have so far. I'm not finished with it quite yet.

Now here is where I need alittle help. I'm planning on painting the trigger frame as well as the body. I still need to bondo the body and do some patch work. I want you guys to decide what I do. The best one is the one I will do.

looking good so far...i think now you should get some duracoat and paint it either green or yellow (since it is a ion, those colors seem to fit the name) but do some tribal designs on it...

ions are like mustangs...alot of people have them but not many know how to use them...

Why the hole in your tank cover? The ion cover looks alright I guess. I prefer the stock cover over that though.

^^Companies make bodies that are open, so im guessing nothing, just a bit more of cleaning

looks pretty good.  Make sure you make it shiney though, not a dull paint

I'll clean it. I've never had the back of my gun get hit so I'm not worried.

I have been thinking of things I want to do to my Ion body but I just can't think of anything that will look good. I wish the eyes wouldn't have to be covered by the body.

I think it would be sweet to paint it lime green or something really bright with black stripes or something like that.
