Or any hopper for that matter.
   Good 'ol black athletic tape. I will put a small strip on the feed neck after I sand it down. |

Certain colors are more brittle. I have a black reloader and I never even got to use it. The feednec broke, the first time i put it on my Angel.
My Ripdrive wheel also snapped. Edited by The Guy - 17 January 2008 at 8:29pm |

Ya I am surprised no one has made hopper covers yet. If you want shiny tape just use electrical tape. You could even style your hopper with coloured hockey tape.

they havent made covers yet because it costs more to keep replacing parts. a good market for them though if you could make them and then sell them on ebay.

The only problem I have had with my shell is the feedneck broke off. It happens from people over tightening the feedneck with certain kinds of feednecks that begin to etch into the feedneck of the shell. Otherwise, it is made of polycarbonate just like the other top name brands. Black will last you the longest though. |

Shells don't really break all that much...
Feednecks break because fools sand them down rather than buying a new gun feedneck |

Ive had my Egg2 for a couple of years now, I just replaced the shells when I got it, and Ive never had problems since. And to replace egg shells, way way cheaper than Halo/Reloader shells. |

Impulse, you can always go here if you want to make your fix-it job look nicer: http://www.barrelsleeve.com/ They make custom coverings for just about any hopper or barrel.

Neoprene covers are not. Lycra covers are NPPL legal, I believe. Animal Paintball makes both.

The covers from BarrelSleeve are very thin (about t-shirt thickness or less) and offer no padding or protection for the hoppers.
