ok so my A5's paint is pretty bad now. I've got a first gen A5 that was painted not powder coated... I'd either want it prefer to have it powder coated, but a darker camo scheme would not be bad I suppose... anyone know where I can have this done that won't wear off after a year?

You can do it your self and bake on the paint at your house for a strong paintjob, not as strong as powder coating but close. Just paint it and bake it at 350 for like 5 minutes, or at 120 for 2 hours.

You might also consider applying 3M type vinyl to the marker for an option. There are several types and designs including all of the most recent camoflague patterns. I am getting some material in the mail this week to do a 98c for my nephew. I'll post the results.

Of course, I'm sure that you know the preparation is most of the job doing a re-paint. Have fun sanding.

As you all know I have a 1st gen A-5. I stripped it down and re- painted it w/ enamel paint. I am going to a 24 hr. scenario this coming weekend. When I come back I am going to re- strip whats left of the paint job I put on it. Then I am going to get it powder coated and be done w/ the paint job thing. I'll post the results. I will probably do the same scheme I did that you saw in the A-5 gallery under Gwaltinator's piece.
