Blue Pro Lites? Or spray paint?

[ATBen]

This isn't like a rental or promo thing that Tippmann did, is it?

Also, how hard would it be to remove it if it was painted?

That sure looks like paint to me ... even the bolt in the slot is painted ...
If you want to go hard, break fluid will take the paint right off ...

I've never seen an all blue Pro Lite before, that looks like it's been painted. How difficult it will be to take the paint off will depend on the prep the person took before they painted and the kind of paint. As we know paintball guns can be oily, but if the stripped it down good and cleaned it then the paint can stick pretty well.

Yeah that's rattle can all the way. Even the trigger is blue

Unless you have some dying need for this one in particular, I'd steer clear. The amount of work needed to remove and most likely repaint it is huge

Can those be anodized?

While there was some proltes with frames and froe ends cast in blue...... Rare beasts. This is not one. This looks painted

I supposed it could be powdercoated blue.... but.... given all the different types of metals, I'm 99% sure that it is just spray paint.
Which.... I'm not against making your gun unique. I have one gun that was reannodized 4 different types....

But if its just spraypaint, it is going to start chipping off pretty much the second you use it.
I'm guessing the owner put the paint on to cover all the wear and scratches on the original black powdercoat... hoping to raise the value, though it really decreases it.

No foregrip. The site/rod retainer is off a carbine. If its got one thing going for it, it might be a proam... Its in a pro am case anyway. But, i mean, it looks like the hammer has blue paint on it. Unless this thing is hiding some sort of ancient secrets it is almost worthless imo.

$17 too much lol

[nobbie333]

what color is it on the inside around the hammer

[ATBen]

Can't really see. It's on an auction site with only 3 photos.

Looks like the hammer and cocking know are blue. I'm guessing its painted. What really made me question it was the porting on the barrel, usually when they're painted the ports get gunked up and drip. Unless someone made a blue aftermarket prolite barrel?

Anyways, I will pass.

Thank you as always most distinguished panel of experts and Chappy.
