98C anti chrome spray paint

Here is my 98C.

Tippmann 98 Custom, 12 inch JnJ Ceramic Barrel, Rufus Dawg Wicked Bolt and Double Trigger, Tapco 6 Position Stock, ViewLoader hopper, Shocktech #5 drop forward and ASA adapter, Tippmann Expansion Chamber and Vertical Adapter.

I originally painted it chrome, but the paint was the worst paint I have ever used. It melted when the Tippmann oil got on it while I was reassembling the gun.

Now its OD and some lighter green, which looks **edited**ty cause I havent bothered to grind the old chrome crap off. I was a bit dissapointed with the rufus dawg kit. just a bunch of plastic junk. Next round I will be replacing the trigger with a metal one. Also I will be looking into a regulator and probably trying to mount it in a picatinny flashlight mount on the barrel. I doubt I'll spring for a hand gaurd, but I have come across a flash ligth mount that also has three picatinny rails. One on each side and one on the bottom. That set up would be fine for me. Also I am looking into a Q Loader system but the E chamber has stolen the OEM Q Loader mounting spot so i may have to go with another moutning option. I would like to find an all metal power tube and lighten the rear hammer. I like CO2 for now. I may install a response trigger but I dont have any pressing need to shot fast witht his gun. Cosmetically I want a picatinny sight rail and M16/AR15 carry handle or red dot sight. Also I guess I need to strip her down adn clean all the crap paint off and repaint.

Sorry bout the pic quality, in a drunken stupor I launched my digi-camera off my desk and now its a bit off. Hence the orange line across the pic.

yeah i have a remote and tank pack but I use it with my autococker. I kindof like the weight on the gun for woodsball. The tank beign forward puts the center of balance at the front grip so i can shoulder it a bit quicker.

Hawaiian style, so thats what its called. Ive only seen it a few times and I liked it. I have short arms and I dont like the tank sittign in my elbow all the time.

so i just got back last night from a 24 hour scenario where i beat the living hell out of that gun up there at the top of the board. It took a nice beating and kept on shooting... although very slowly. I think i defn. want an electronic trigger i tied one out on an A5 and it was beast. Also busted the lid off my hopper, had to clip my spring to lower my fps to meet the field regulations. Over all it did pretty well. I slid into a tree and used it to protect my face fromt the truck and it did its job there, then the sky opened up and dumped tons of water on us and i dried it out oiled it up and it still worked, while al the other guys with $1500 electric guns had to use rentals the rest of the time cause their boards shorted. accuracy and range could be better but it was about what i expected fromt eh 12 in. barrel. I think im going to turn the drop down around cause Pezzer is right its really front heavy after abotu 6 hours of lifting it to shoot and 12-24 i figure i might as well shoot the damn ground. last bit my ugly paint is now uglier so in need of full strip and repaint + im polishing the internal parts of the reciever when i finish that stuff.

sorry for the essay

ok so round three...

the gun was too heavy to play with at long games and too bulky to effectively move around with so i got rid of all the crap that caused the problme and did a total rehaul of the gun.

sorry for the crappy quality i broke my digital camera and took these with my phone. ill borrow a camera soon and take better quality pics and post them.
