I dont like the paint on the barrel or gun, the hopper looks sweet though.

Paintjob looks very good, don't like the cyclone at all.

You should have painted the Hopper even with the cyclone. The left side dosent look good, and try higher quality paint

you should buy a new barrel, CF, and a halo. and you should have painted the fore grip.

it's stupid to centerfeed it and get a halo when he already has a sufficient feeder system....

i personally like the paintjob.

first off i love the gun and theres nothin wrong with a cyclone and the fade
isnt bad but if u do decide to redo it make sure you use glossy paint and
primer and sand it so it sticks rite so basically if i were u i would sand it
primer it and then get i higher grit sand paper sand it prim it again and
then spray the fade onto it then if u feel real special put a cear coat on it to
protect it after this the result if u did it right will be a pretty glossy paint job

Thanks for the suggestions kickinwing2010.  It is actually a little more glossy than it appears.  I use DuraCoat paint in which you don't use any primer and I use a sanblaster to prep markers before painting.  I was just trying something different because I normally paint camouflage.  Again, thank you for the suggestions and comments.

DuraCoat was made for firearms and is why it's the number one firearm finish in the industry.  You can change the gloss, which is actually called the sheen of the paint one of two ways.  I guess first off I should explain that you have to add hardener to the paint.  I usually use 1 tsp.  hardener to every 4 tablespoons of DuraCoat.  You also add hardener to the clearcoat you choose to use.  If you want to add a more glossier finish,  just add more hardener.  The thing to keep in mind when using DuraCoat is even if you add more hardener to your DuraCoat and get the glossier finish you want, the clearcoat will even out the sheen of all the colors you used.  For example, lets say you finished painting your marker urban digital.  The matte black will be flatter than the white and gray.  If you add DuraClear to it, it will even out all 3 colors and give them the same sheen.  So if you want it glossy, go with a satin or glossy DuraClear, then add more hardener.  If you dont want to use DuraClear, then just add more hardener to the color(s) you  choose.

Hope this makes sense, any more questions let me know.  I am a certified DuraCoat Finisher and would be happy to help out.

Looks great!!  Makes me wish I never got a flatline because it does not look that great.

The only think I would do, is paint  "tippmann" in black, it would look even sicker!!

Looks nice. If there was some milling it would look better but it's still sick the way it is.
