Alright, here's the deal i bought a Tippmann 98 Custom for 15$. It wasn't working at the time, so i bought it anyway. it came with a flatline barrel, an expansion chamber, and some other add ons. Before i bought the gun, i took it apart and took the flatline barrel off. Here is what the gun looked like before i started to do anything to it. Yes, i do know that on the end pictures of the gun the gas line hose is not hooked up, i had to take it off because it wasn't the right house for the expansion chamber, i have a new hose on the way to my house.
![]() I then sandblasted the gun to get all the old paint off of it, so that i could begin painting it how i wanted it. i didn't take any pictures at this point because i forgot too. I then primed the gun, and painted it black. Here's what it looked like. ![]() After i painted it black, i made a camo stencil out of a cereal box, heres a picture of the stencil. I took this picture after i painted the gun, because i forgot to take a picture of it beforehand. ![]() I think placed the stencil over the part of the gun i wanted to paint red, and covered the rest of the gun up with newspaper. After i finished painting the gun it looked pretty good in my opinion. ![]() I then put the gun back together again, painted the screws to match the gun and took a look at the gun it looked pretty sick. ![]() I think the gun looks pretty good, but i know a few of you on here could do it much better, this though is my first painting of any paintball gun. ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited by Hudson - 05 August 2010 at 12:27am |

not to shabby what i did yesterday was paint I believe the term is urban camo, Took my x7 apart then primed the frame, flatline shroud, and buttstock, then painted blue and then put paint tape where i wanted the blue to stay then painted a sandy camo brown then taped then painted black then after it dried I took all the tape off then covered in a clear protective coat cost me about $30 in spray paint but it was well worth it I'll try to get some pics later on after work

Yeah I didnt do the grip or the clip, and I didnt realize i for got the cyclone till i was done i left it in the room but it turned out alright think im gonna leave the grip and clip alone and just get the hopper but leave the actual cyclone alonewe'll c how i feel this weekend but i might be heading out of town this weekend to go hits some out of town games should be sweet
hehe plus I asked my CEO to buy a pallet of paint and a fill station and tanks for the local field I set up she said she'll look into it, I work for a municipal government so its for the town hope she pulls through, only one place in town to get paint and if we get it bulk well pay half the price what it is in town, plsu theres no actual paintball place in town so cant get upgrades unless I order them online which i usually do for me and buddys within the last 2 weeks ordered about 5-6 markers still waiting for 2 to arrive, 1-98 and 1- spyder pilot |

yeah it is, i just bought an adjustable sight rail, and i think it kind of looks stupid on the gun. what do you think? That's a different gun by the way, i have 2 98 customs.
