    How is the SL68 Finished?

    I know cast Tippmanns are typically painted but the finish on the milled areas of the gun is so nice and uniform it looks and feels like anno.

      Bodies are painted barrels are anodized IIRC. Cast aluminum does not anodize well or evenly in most cases. There are casted alloys of aluminum that are supposed to be able to be anodized but even those I suspect would be inconsistent in color.

          The inside is also completely coated as well. In the threads and everything.

          I think they are "alumablack" Ed which is a chemical finish

              Goose pitch/pine tar, I assume. Armus, Skin of Evil is a popular upgrade
