I just got finished doing the famous TLPLUS84 trigger job and I really screwed up my frame. While I was hammering out the trigger pin, I severly scratched the black finish on my Spyder classic. Upon doing this, my brain started whirling out a quick soulution and I decided to just sand off all of the paint. My plan was to take off the old finish, then go back with fine sandpaper and polish to create a nice, shiny Stainless Steel finish.

Now my gun looks like crap. I don't know what kind of polish to use or where to buy it.

Is there any way out of this mess?

And then did you decide to just put some C4 to it, blow it up, and try to glue all the pieces together? Tlplus, whats a good remedy for that?

A trigger job (if done right) will decrease the distance that the trigger needs to be pulled in order to fire the paintballs. It will also decrease the amount of force needed to be applied to the trigger in order to fire the paintballs.
