Maybe blue to black fade like the DM6 has. Looks really sweet.

i think you should take the paint off and repaint it. Don't get me wrong it looks nice but i can see that you didn't use a self etching primer. on the second pic from the end, you see where the two screws that hold the power tube? if you look a little bit closer to where the barrel goes you can see where the paint didn't cover the metal. its just a little dot but its still there. I would really recommend repainting it. as for colors 1 what color barrel do you have, do you play woods, do you care if its bright? these questions will better determine what color would suit best

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator.
