I'm changing my A5 to a Speedball gun. Old setup has is stock A5 w/ RT and Flatline barrel. After I'm done it will have 14" Progressive barrel, E-Grip w/ JCS Dual Trigger, A.P.E. Ramage Board, JCS RVA, Palmers QEV, Shocktech Relocator Bar, Polished Internals, New Paintjob w/ designs. Had a W.A.S. board but it doesn't shut off. For all those who told me to read the manual and said its a stupid question I posted, it's not because I'm stupid, it is the board itself. Emailed the tech at W.A.S. site and told me to return it. Solution to my problem is, got myself a A.P.E. board. Problem fixed. Planned on getting an A.P.E. anyways.
Before pic (A5 w/ Flatline and stock) http://imageshack.us"> Pic of its current state http://imageshack.us"> Body stripped w/ Design (JB Weld). Body may change still. Might add more designs http://imageshack.us"> http://imageshack.us"> http://imageshack.us"> My Gun (A5), My brothers gun (05 Angel Joy), cousins gun (Autococker). Not pictured is my bro's old A5. Thats the body that is being worked on. http://imageshack.us"> http://imageshack.us"> I will update pics when I'm done. As for color scheme, I'm thinking about either fade red to black or the design will be red and the gun will be black. |

^Agreed.... Stick with black for the main color, but use a different color than red for the accents like white or lime green. I like the body design, looks good. I really like the Joy Angel, but I dont like the talon/snatch grip on the back of it.. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

I was originally gonna just paint it red to black until I decided to add designs to it. Now I'm thinking black as main and red for the design with a pinstrip around the design. Color is undecided as of now. Also the Angel Joy was purchased as is. The gun also comes w/ a Tag board. My brother had plans for a Smart Parts Micro, but he just gonna leave it for now because he just purchased a EVent mask. Also got a Freak barrel kit with inserts. |

A LPK was the next thing I was gonna get. Drop is coming soon. Ordered it but the sent the wrong drop, so I had to return it. Should be coming in this week I hope. As for color scheme, I'm still deciding. So if any of you have any suggestions, let me know. |

Wow, that original. very nice. Definatly go with the colors you truely want. Its your gun. And in the end, your the one that needs to be happy with it. I personally think the black main with red arrows would be cool, especially with some back pin striping on the arrows. And definatly some layers of clear. |

Job pays pretty good. Just purchased a Red Dye Invision mask. So the color scheme will probably black and red. So the pinstrip is still undecided. Black and Lime green sounds good but wouldn't match. Now that I think of it, it can only be red and black. Anyone ever used Spaz Stix paint on their guns. I know they are for RC cars bodies, but I was just wondering. I got a bottle of candy apple red. |

| That color scheme does look kinda nice. I'll take that into consideration. I'm still sanding it and add more jb to fill in the holes caused by air bubbles and maybe add more designs. As for the jb, its holding pretty good. I think once I paint it and clear it, it will be pretty solid. At least thats what I hope. |

You can touch it and it doesn't stick to you like crazy. All you have to do is make sure you don't get the one that harden in 15 min and wash your hands. |
