Oxidations of the plastic? or the metal?

Plastic is no biggie, it's just the pigment fading due to UV exposure in the sunlight. The metal wouldn't oxidize past a small layer given that it's aluminum alloy and aluminum instantly oxidizes in the air (which is why you can't braze/weld it outside of explosion welding).

I like to play pinball but I can't score much probably because instead of trying to meet women I sit in my mom's basement and spam paintball forums. Still I will try daily.
