Two tone rubs off too easily

[Mos]

Hey guys, I bought this ICS CXP08 (it's awesome) anyways, for some of you that have been involved in the threads I have made regarding what gun to buy, you'll remember me but it is two tone red, yet the paint rubs off very easy, I'm not gonna lie, I like it rubbed off, but does this mean anything legally ? The paint rubs off very easily. (I am quite pleased it does though) I don't have a UKARA. Thanks.

Don't worry about it. Ukara is there to protect sellers of rifs.

[ImTriggerHappy]

Think of it as a bonus.

[proffrink]

I mean technically it's still manufacturing an RIF I guess but who cares really. Just don't go boasting about it to anyone.

[djben9]

Did my wife paint it???!!!!

Just use it for your 3 games and then no worries, you can't help the paint job. Just be sensible with it and kep it under wraps

Just make sure you dont accidentally get some fairy power spray on it and remove the paint when wiping off your accidental spillage. Dont tell people on internet forums about your mishap either, it might give the wrong impression.

Ah right, I do see it as a bonus lol. But, yeah, I guess it's their fault that their paint is bad. I'll just wait the 3 games and maybe sandpaper the paint off? I scratched a bit off of the hand guard off with my nail to see how weak it was... I guess sandpaper after 3 games would do. Thanks.

I wouldn't sand paper unless you like the worn look or plan on respraying it. Powerspray will do the trick

[proffrink]

NOT THAT YOU'D EVER THINK OF DOING THAT

[Colonel Kurtz]

Indeed not, that'd be manufacturing a RIF which is illegal unless you have a valid defence.

 

On a completely unrelated topic, intending to use a RIF for airsoft is a valid defence and UKARA is only a way for retailers to verify this intent from the general public

Exactly

[proffrink]

Er, on a serious note let's just remember that a valid defence isn't clarified but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful. Again, I've been without UKARA for going on two years now but I keep a copious record of my attendances just in case.

 

If you're reading this in two years time and you've just started airsoft then firstly, well done for getting the search to work in IPB. Secondly, if airsoft isn't banned already then don't be naughty - have a defence.

 

There - our disclaimer is done.

[Colonel Kurtz]

Wait a minute this didn't turn into the usual ukara shitstorm arguement... I'm gonna go look through zero in or UKAC to make sure I haven't quantum leaped or something.

[Sitting Duck]

Don't matter to me......

 

my DIY TARDIS is nearly finished - so I can live pre Oct 2007

 

what do ya think ?

 

 

AND DON'T SAY ITS CRAP

 

jeez and they say us airsofters are sad - seriously some of the Dr Who fans REALLY need to get out more

[proffrink]

what the christ

Like to the whole universe via a forum ?

[proffrink]

Hey, he's not boasting about it. And he certainly hasn't got the sites he plays at clearly advertised on his profile.

Love the police box, what scale is it? I could do with a 1:1 for the back garden, it would alleviate the problem of only having a toilet upstairs and not needing to build an extension.

[proffrink]

Just do what The Young Ones did. Lowers the council tax.

lol it ain't mine, though a TARDIS would be ideal for storing all my crap in

If we went back to pre Oct '07 before the vcra n stuff we wouldn't have ukara/2-tone/vcra paragraph stuff

[BigAl]

There easy enough to build, have a look on You Tube, considering knocking one up myself this winter to keep myself amused. lol

[Mos]

Christ, thanks for the help, tbh, I'll end up sand papering it, but I'll be playing a game soon, so let's be honest, once I've recorded one game it shows I pretty much play air soft... If it's not enough, 3 games will come soon enough

[proffrink]

Yup, you'll be fine. I'd consider the Fairy power spray first and about an hour of scrubbing - that'll get almost all of it off. Takes a long time, but it's worth it for the results - you could use wet and dry but that tends to be less effective though you'll get quicker results.

ah right, I'll look into fairy spray. Cheers pal
