I have never gotten my gun custom annoed before so I just wanted to run this buy some peopel who have. I was thinking of a all polished blood red and gold camo style on my etek. I think it would look good, but seeing as I have never gotten a custom anno I just wanted to know if this would turn out good. Thanks

Could you post a pic of your gun now? IMO it would look sick on a marker, if the anno looked professional.

My etek is stock color (all dust black) >theres a pic http://kick-n-paintball.com/store/images/eltek%20black%20ego%2006.jpg (http://kick-n-paintball.com/store/images/eltek%20black%20ego%2006.jpg) . I was thinking of getting 125 customs to do it becasue they have good prices, but I can't get a reply quote from them, they must be busy. Also I sent a quote into precisionpb today,waiting for a response. Also could people post why they think it would look good or why it wouldn't look good, I just want to know what your thinking.

ur talking about getting the gun annod blood red and then having the accents gold? If so that would be Sick! Just be sure to get it done by someone who is known for doing good stuff, i've heard a lot of ppl like to use gruntball so maybe them, idn.

Ya I just wanted to see what people thought, becasue I have never gotten any of my guns annoed. Plus I thought it would be kind of new, I haven't heard of any other blood red/gold camo gun. I was wondering would an acid effect be better for this kind of job?

Probably a stupid question, what do you mean by acid? IMO it would look best like matte, not shiny..

As long as you put a picture of yours truly on there it would look FANnnnnNNNNtastic!:D

But a blood red base with like an acid washed, washed out gold swirl camo pattern over it could look ok.

The more purplish you go with the blood red, the more the gold will stand out since yellow and purple are opposite colors. Just beware of making a grape gun. Unless you like a gun that is reminiscent of Jack Nicholsons suits when he played the Joker in Batman.

Maybe do a strip to metal and then wash the red and gold on over it to get the silver background to shine through.

And then of course add a picture of me.:dodgy:

I was thinking this kind of blood red http://gruntbull.com/images/d07/DSC03075.JPG , and then gold. Would a silver base bring out the blood red and gold more. Cause I was thinking if it was possible to do a 3 color acid wash.

Silver would be better than gold, but is personal preference.

Like I said, if they strip it down to metal and the do a two color acid wash it would in effect be a three color.

^And ooogly.

The blood red is a great idea, a little bit darker red too. Since you like gold, I assume, a combination of gold and black mixed together in a tribal pattern would look super cool for accents.

Well first I need need the money. Your right acid washes are some what old, I am going to with the my original camo idea, it's new ( the colors I'm using), and would look pretty sweet. Thanks for your input everyone.
