Hey guy's I got dont getting some pics into imageshack and my gun is now complete.......check it out! ps. i was going to do some designs on my gun but it didn't work out so.....
1. set up a working area out in my garage
2. I applyed paint stripper to the 2 gun recievers. when i was done with that i put it in a sink to fine clean the thing and the stipper reacted with the water and it started bubbling- it was sweat
3. i scraped it off useing a razar blade/steal whole-but not idk what it was. the paint came off like dirt on a floor.
4. applied primer, sanded alittle between coats I guess i lost the pic 5. painted black - here is the place ware i messed up- i was going to lay down some flames that goes from the front to the back but it came out crappy so i just used silver to black.
5. i assembled the gun - im happy but the place ware i tryed to put the graphics needs to be sanded alittle after it sets
What do you guys think? o yeah when i was paint stripping it my tippmann a5 metal piece came off and now i need a new one-----ware can i get one? ------------- http://imageshack.us">

A few more coats wouldnt hurt at all. The APE will be a nice touch along with the vortex. Plan on any other ups? ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Personally I wouldn't have stripped off the hard-core black finish Tippmann applies just to paint it black again but it's your gun. Makes for a good project though. |

What kind of paintstripper did you use? Correct me if Im wrong, but does it take the factory poweder coat off? Did you use self-etching primer? Oh and by the way, thats on hot gun |

When you field strip and put it all back after you're done, do you have to re-do the teflon tape on the hoses again? Or do you just put it all back and it's ready? Because I want to paint my gun. -------------

You took off black paint to paint it black again... lol. Looks nice, painting is always REALLY fun, but extremely time-consuming. Question, what paint thinner did you use? I used M.E.K., and it was incredibly hard to get all the paint off. ------------- A-5 Response Trigger DOP Blade Trigger Polished Internals X-Chamber Custom Paint 14" J&J |

on an A5 all you have to do to feild strip it is: 1. take all pins out 2. detach tombstone and remove grip 3. unscrew the cylinder hose from the cyclone that go's into the side of your gun. 4. remove velocity screw 5 tip your gun so that the barrel is facing in the air. --------------------------------------------- everything should slide out. the ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION is that no you dont have to retape the hose.....thats the good thing about a5...unlike the 98s ps: im done painting and clear coating and im letting it set over night and will put gun back togeather and post new pics. this forum thing is swag ------------- http://imageshack.us">

If I were to do a fade job, I dont think I'd do just silver to black. You
could do something much more original/ eye catching. The new paintjob is better than the first though. |

| What do you use to build up the pressure for the pressure chamber( air compressor, bike pump)? What kind of paint are you shooting out of that really long barrel? |
