Has anyone tried Line2Line coating on paintball parts? I know that it is used in pistons for car engines and they advertise for gun parts, I was just thinking that it might be interesting to use it for a couple of parts in the paintball markers. I was thinking it might work for an autococker bolt but it might work for a lot of parts that wear down or need an oring.

assuming the stuff works I would think it would only make a difference on moving parts that don't have orings, so triggers, frames, cocker hammers, etc. Might also net an improvement if you coat the internals of a gun to bring down the friction. But I bet in order to gain anything the inside would need to be polished which depending on how its done could mess up the tolerances. -
I may be wrong but the way that i understand the line2line stuff is it is self polishing. So it would make a tighter seal I am thinking of trying it on an autococker bolt and seeing if there is any difference. The thing is if it does what it says it will I could see it working with a lot of internals. Like you said anything that moves and has air to it would be possible it could seal it and bring down friction. I think the triggers would be a waste but something like a ram, three way, maybe something else. It is interesting enough I am thinking of it but I have considered nonstick coating my bolts to.

Looks like there is a range of coating thicknesses available, I do know that on the low end (0.0007") its similar to anodizing where the coating is so thin the surface quality would still have an effect on smoothness. Not sure about effect of coatings >0.0015" as that is outside the range I'm familiar with from anodizing.Originally posted by jokers View PostI may be wrong but the way that i understand the line2line stuff is it is self polishing.

I think if you did the entire trigger frame and the 3 way after all those are the parts that will effect the feel of the marker the most since you are interacting with them directly and would let you use lighter trigger springs. I don't think doing the ram would have much benefit especially when you weigh it against putting a couple $10 clippard qev's on it
Really the only way to know would be to get one treated and set it up exactly as it was before and see the diference.Comment

It appears to be meant for metal on metal applications so I don't see it being beneficial for pneumatics. Maybe a slider frame?Comment

Brandon I would disagree maybe I am not describing it well enough and maybe I do not understand it perfectly but think frosting a cake. You put on a thicker layer on the outside of the cake and then scrap it off to get the look you want. In the case of a car you put a layer on the piston and the motion of the piston in the engine scraps off the material and makes it a tight fit. I was thinking if you were to put it on a bolt, ram or anything else that acts like a piston in a marker it might make a nice tight fit and make it work better.
Boom treatment to me seems like a way to spray on a coating to the inside of a marker and make it work better (never used boom treatment) from there it just works and anything removed is bad.Comment
