go to kpcustoms.com (i think) and they do annodizing. if ur gonna paint it urself, rough up the stock paint with emery paper and paint over it. be sure to use primer, paint, and clearcoat. -------------

http://www.kpcustoms.com - kpcustoms does powder coating and anodizing. If you want to do it look in the uber upgrades sticky there's info on how to paint your marker in there. ------------- Signatures are **edited** |

Use paint stripper, it will take off all of the paint easily.
Priming wont help it from scratching but it will make sure there are no
high and low spots. Use about 5 coats of the color you want, then
2 clear coat layers. Dupli-color makes good paint, including
primers and clear coats. Remember to use light coats and to make
sure the peices that you plan on painting get plenty of air and time to
dry. 1 can of each will be plenty for a few guns. If you care about how smooth it is use 2 coats of primer. Wet sanding after dry. Then after painting wet sand it agian. |
