I recentley had my 98 custom pc'd at a local shop. I asked for a dark silver with clearcoat. During the process the guy accidently burned on the clear coat and it gave my gun this effect. the surface is rippled and also has a iradecent color. The owner thought I would want it re-coated, but I think it looks cool. http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img01233os.jpg - http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img01233os.jpg http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img01061ds.jpg - http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img01061ds.jpg http://members.cox.net/keoni721/IMG_0119%20Small.JPG - http://img51.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0118small7in.jpg - http://img51.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0118small7in.jpg http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0126small9dt.jpg - http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0126small9dt.jpg http://members.cox.net/keoni721/IMG_0126%20Small.JPG - ps.

I had a chance to give the new pc job a test today, while playing at a local field and the coating held up perfect, even after slamming my gun and my head full speed into nice big low hanging branch, I awoke seconds later to see that my gun was still in great condition (my head and mask did not fair so well) Color close up. http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img01330eb.jpg - http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img01330eb.jpg |

Looks good, but have you actually gotten some wear & tear on it?
The way it looks, it seems like it will easily chip. |

The guy charged me 30.00 and he said that he could replicate the effect in any color now that he knows the time it takes to get the irradecent waves. As far as the powdercoating looking like it would easily chip, the finish is extremely hard. When I tried to reassemble the marker after picking it up, I had some of the pc on the inner lips of the recievers. I had to sand the mating insides of the receivers to get a complete flush fit. It was very tough to sand down the pc and this was pc on the edge of the aluminum that you might think would be fragile. I think the guy used a ton of clear coat to give the gun the irradecent finish and just got the rippling effect due to the prolonged heating by accident. |

I added a couple of things to the marker over the last couple of days. a new rufus dawg drop and a new lapco expansion chamber. I had a halo hopper w/ the LCD screen but the feed neck broke. (can I do anything about this, like send it back?) http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img03084cv.jpg - http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img03084cv.jpg http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img02947nb.jpg - http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img02947nb.jpg http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img02995fe.jpg - http://img279.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img02995fe.jpg |

I think I have done everything to this marker that I can think of besides going HP or LP. As of right now the marker is set up with: CP asa on/off, CP dovetail, Rufus Dawg blade trigger and drop forward, Dye sticky grips, Lapco expansion chamber and vertical adapter, SmartParts teardrop barrel, DOP gold powertube and delrin bolt, RT, empire and halo LED hopper, polished internals and rocket cock. I wanted to put an e-bolt because I like to have a trigger pull that is like the click of a mouse, but I think it may cost less to just buy a new custom pro with an e-trigger already installed.
