I cant say im a big fan of the colors, but the milling is really nice. I like the gun and it's upgrades, but the color kills it for me. It doesn't really matter though as long as you like it.

The coloration is unique.  It doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother jordan, but I still wouldn't want it on my marker.  The milling appears to be very well done.

The digi-camo is a bit sloppy in some places, but I'm diggin' the color combo.

Could be better but its still awesome, keep up the good work!

Nice job milling. I also think the digicam looks a bit sloppy. The green overlaps the brown too much.

As actual camoflauge goes, its horrible. As a paintjob goes, I think it looks kinda cool. Reminds me of a old videogame or some weird anime stuff.

yea i wasnt exactly "thrilled" as to how the camo came out.....  the right side of the marker (not shown) is much more even as far as the actual pattern goes........ and even so, i actually spent a whole day trying to decide whether i should keep it the green that i had put down for the base coat ===>

or just to go on with the camo......

it was tough....

but then i figured that i spent a load of time making the stencils and it would be interesting to try something ive never done before ...... and i could always paint it over... .so what the hell.....

and once i get back to the US (new jersey) its definately getting a new paintjob....

Sigh.  Ammolord, I have a few of pointers for you:

  • When you post in someone else's thread and ask a question on a different topic (as you have in several different places with this specific question) it is referred to as "hijacking" and is considered to be rude by many people.
  • The search button is your friend. You could just type in "polish internals" and do a search.
    • The dictionary/spell check is your friend also. (Note: internals, not inturnals.)
  • In lieu of using the search feature, you could do what I did to find information on internal polishing.
    • I looked at the different areas of the forum and decided the most logical place to go first was Upgrades and Customizing.
    • When I got there I noticed a stickied thread that was all about modifications.
    • When I opened the thread I found a post about polishing internals.
    • It took about two minutes.

It's funny because it's supposed to do the opposite :P
