    Posted: 21 December 2007 at 11:14am

Hello,

I've been powder coating for a while now and noticed that Model 98s are one of the most common paintball guns people have done, so I wanted to share some pictures of markers that I have done.  Let me know what you think.

they look good, but i like the non-sparkled ones better though. i like the top 98, the blue. 

i've never really known too much about it, but how hard is it to powder coat, and what exactly is involved?

There's a lot of prep work, the actual powder coating part is fairly simple.  The info page on my website gives a lot of information about the process.

Too bad you aren't in the Dallas area and could get me extremely good pricing on my rims.

Not bad. I would like to see some custom milling on the 98's though.

I would suggest taking the link out of your sig as it can be considered advertising.

If I'm asked to, I will.  I don't think they'll mind, its not a major corporation, its just me.  Plus I figured as soon as I delete it, someone would ask where to have it done.

You probably wont be asked. It will most likely just be gone one day. And the no selling rule applies to everyone not just to major corporations.

You ever do higher end markers, or fades?

Yes, I do fades (special request only) and I have done a few ions and cockers nothing super high end.  No I don't use a house oven, although I did for my first year and it worked suprisingly well.

Black chrome is sexy. I was accually concidering having my Mag black chromed, but I would have went to a chrome shop first. Never knew you could get such shine out of powercoat.

Are the reflective finishes just as durable as regular powercoats?

And btw, I dont think mods will care unless you start posting ads and stuff like that.

Yes, they are all the same type of powder and provide a very durable finish.

looks good but remember dont spend too much on a 98 because as good as they are they are still a 98
if you put 500 dollars into an A5 it is still an A5

the black chrome is sweet, if i had the money i would have someone do it in black chrome, but i think camo would be more useful, i only play woods and some scenario, but only woods. Honestly, i hate speedball, xball, superball w/e its all called lol. but yea, sweet paint jobs.
