A sub section would be a good idea but even so a link to your own website would be fine just the 10 sales threads is a bit much.

The classifieds are for private sales not for businesses to take over.

 

No intention of taking over and I've been told there were traders before that took the p**s a little. The web site is still under construction, I have one live but its a little raw. Got a young gentleman building a proper one. It would be a shame if small businesses like myself couldn't interact more with the community. Was working really well on FB until the latest changes. Went from a complete unknown on there to having great feedback, was hoping to do the same on the forums and this one came recommended from someone.

Just for the record I did ask 3 mods if it was ok for me to post sales adds before I did.

[Gear tec]

You could always do what some other forums do and offer a shop section for business to post for sales adds and advertise other products. Pay the forum a set amount for a yearly subscription. Not all retailers would be bothered to and are quiet happy, and are big enough to be able to get by with web site sales. However for busnisess like myself it is a good way to make ourselves known and for the community to see the kinds of services we offer.

Also if you buy a gun from us not only can we mod it internally but if it was one you wanted spraying the paint job is considerably cheaper as part of the deal.

[Gear tec]

Will you take guns via post?

Yes that not a problem.

Interesting... whereabouts in Essex?

Coledridge

[Gear tec]

Hi Karl. I'm based up in the North East, just outside Middlesbrough. We also have an outlet in Essex where our techs are based who are able to do any internal works and upgrades.

[Gun picture thread]

i must know where i can get myself one of the first picture?

We supply them when we can get them. £750. Normally retail for £900

[Gun picture thread]

We all see that magazine

 

youd be dissapointed. Its just a cover printed out and stuck on the front of the wifes Hello magazine

Do you disassemble the externals for this?

 

Also guys, white can't be two tone - that's a realistic colour.

 

I do strip them down if it makes painting easier

[Gun picture thread]

I do like to try and take nice pics. Bit of an obsession.

Maybe do some kind of introductory competition or something, so one of us can get a gun painted to review and show off

 

I've got 2 Krytacs coming.....Just saying lol

 

Maybe I could do some sort of competition. People post pics of guns they might like painted and possible schemes. People vote. Winner gets free paint job.

That looks like Hydro dipping ?

All hand painted Qlimax. Have all the kit for hydro dipping just haven't set it up yet.

[Custom paint work]

I've painted all kinds of things. I had my own China antique restoration business for nearly 20 years so sprayed all manor of things then. Made models. Painted Nerfs for people. Anything people asked for basically

[Custom paint work]

CustomPainted helmets

 

[Custom paint work]

Some of the more basic, everyday camos.

Once the mask is done, any chance of some photos?

I've got an old Cactus Hobbies Mask that's boring OD at the moment - so I may be after a little custom work on it too

 

You've got some serious talent! We'd better get in quick before you realise and hike your prices up :-)

 

I'll post some pics as soon as its done. Its a Zombie "Nazi" and was just in black plastic. The idea is to bring it to life......no pun intended

[Custom paint work]

 

Blimey....you're selling yourself short there mate.

 

Do you just do guns or have you looked at the rest of the custom paint market?

 

I know a lot of people have said its cheap but I enjoy doing them and it keeps me out of trouble. I sprayed a couple of custom helmets and I'm just about to finish a mask someone has sent. The hydro dipping will be a big bonus once its set up. You anything in particular you think could be sprayed?

[Custom paint work]

So you can do custom commissions?

 

You might be getting a krytac your way soon haha.

 

Drop me a message any time. Always happy to take on a new project

[Custom paint work]

What are your prices on average?

For something the size of an M4 in one of the more basic camos it's £55. Attachments and extra mags cost a little bit more. For something like the white mass effect rifle it was £75

[Custom paint work]

Would (some of) these be classified as two tones?

The red Mandalorian was a 2 tone commission. The wasp would also be classed as a 2 tone. Easy enough to do a 2 tone and still make it look cool.

[Custom paint work]

For those that might not have seen any of the work I've done below are a few of the commissions completed so far. For more you can ask to join my FB page:GearTechCustomPaint and check out the paint commission section on my web site(in its very early stages so forgive the layout www.geartechcustompaint. We will also have pics of our first hydro dipped items in the next couple of weeks,

 

[Hi]

Hey Chris. I believe it was me that pointed you here!

 

Welcome to the forum. Ignore the miserable ones by the way, we're mostly friendly.

 

Cheers. I used to walk the hallowed grounds on many a WWII re-enactment forum so know what they can be like. Great place for info though, glad you pointed it out.
