How come both of my Tippmanns (A5 and model 98)the paint is peeling off? I know I should repaint it, but why is this happening and how can I prevent this from happening again after it's repainted. ------------- It don't matter if you win by an inch or by a mile. Winning's winning. |

| Shadow, It's not giving us permission to view. Paint gets chipped, water gets to aluminum, Aluminum powders, paint peels. Treat it just like a car when you repaint it. strip it, get all contaminants off, prime and paint with high quality auto enamel. I have also found getting rid of all the sharp edges helps with chipping alot. |

This happens when you don't clean your gun or take good care of it. -------------

There is no way around it, regardless on how much care has been done to avoid chipping paint...jus like what Liquid3 stated, treat it as if it was a car that is need of a new paintjob....grrrrr that reminds me, I gotta started savin up, I do need some serious body mods and a paintjob for my truck if I want it pictured in a magazine... ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

He didn't mention chipping paint, he mentioned peeling paint. Those are two totally different problems. -------------

Chipping or peeling...it really doesnt matter, repainting is still required. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

Oil the paint, and keep oil on it when you store it. My buddies also use those armor-all wipe things. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

It doesn' t cost $100 to paint it if you want a professional job. Powder
coat for two reciever halves can be as low as $25-$30. -------------
