So here's where i start


V1

Excuse the terrible job in MS paint

1) So i will be painting the body, trigger frame: yellow....on krylon's website it is called "Sunbeam". I will apply 3 coats of this and 5 coats of clear coat. Following the steps in another thread on how to paint vibes.

2) I already have the anno'd blue freak back. I will be purchasing a freak tip and getting it anno'd yellow along with the trinity t-lock. Tab will be blue...body of feedneck will be yellow.

3) the ASA will be a BL gear drive most liekly or CP....once again anno'd blue. The bottom cap of the reg( anno'd blue)

4) trigger painted blue

5) yellow macro line purchased from macroline guy

6) The internals will be part of the blackheart combo. The fore grip cover was a joke.

7) if there is some way to paint the rubber grip sweet and the grips i am undecided....any suggestions?

I think rubber can be dye'd.... Your really keen on painting the vibe aren't you? LOL

beautiful drawing



they have some nice blue contract killer grips or anything blue would be tight.

I was considering painting my vibe. Krylon has Camo color paints and I got all 3 colors tan, olive, and dark green/black. They leave a very smooth flat finish.

And I'm loving the feel of my stock grips so much I can't see myself changing them. I have small hands and the vibe just feels so good in my hands.

I think yellow/blue would look awesome. Post pics for sure when your done.

You can only dye plastics darker, not lighter.

[omlette2331]

i'm painting not dying the krylon will ad here to the plastic

[Zepulkinator]

I should have quoted Crunken, that's who I was talking about.

I think you should color it as you wish. Get a good barrel kit (I recommend Deadlywinds), good bolt, BH board, and an on/off. Possibly modify an Ego feedneck.

About the grips, .45 grips work. You can get hybrid ones if you want. Gunna had some on his vibe.

[GunnaStunna]

RL destroyka FTW. although red and black dont really match blue and yellow

[Zepulkinator]

I don't really like hybrid grips. I like the dye sticky grips and the smart parts ones have that same sticky feel to them, so I'm satisfied.

[GunnaStunna]

ya if i didnt usually wear gloves i think the material of the RL grips would get on my nerves.

[DaCreator]

Hey omlette where do you get stuff anno'd?

[omlette2331]

I'm gonna do it with Gruntbull annodizing.... and for grips prolly some SP pro tocuh in blue or hyrbid/empire

[GunnaStunna]

ya know i've never seen an ano'd vibe. i remember sparrow painted his which looked tight and people always talk about anodizing their vibe but i've never seen one. please get some good pics if you go through with it.

[omlette2331]

I can only anno the bottom cap to the reg. Everythign else will come from the company stock that colour..either yellow or blue. Body,frame,trigger,feedneck are being painted. ANd i'm changing whcih part is which colour

[omlette2331]

as of now V2 is what i'm liking but the feedneck should it be yellow blue screws or blue yellow screws....leaving everything else the way it is?

[Zepulkinator]

Just curious, why yellow and blue?

Gruntbull is expensive, but does quality work.

[omlette2331]

exactly quality.... and cuz i yellow/ blue with a red/blue gun in the same gear bag=sex

[GunnaStunna]

i like the feedneck the way u have it pictured

[Zepulkinator]

that looks like purple lol

[GunnaStunna]

eh, maybe an indigo. So are you gonna leave the reg black and get new grips?

[vibe45]

can i get the vibe "painted"
