    Have a polished full metal KJW M9 that I no longer need.
    Its been well looked after and comes with King Arms upgraded hammer and recoil springs installed for snappier recoil and 4 leak free mags.
    I'll also throw in a hard foam lined carry case.

    Quick sale needed so €160 plus postage.

    Paypal only.
    Absolutely no trades whatsoever, need cash to pay the bills.:)

    I'll get pics up later.

    Hey faheycash just wondering when you say chromed do you mean stripped dipped and plated or stripped sanded and polished?
    It looks sanded to a matt finish as there is paint/coating in the grooves and not shiny enough to have been polished or chromed (it could be just the pictures).
    Just curious as I am interested in the piece.
    Cheers

    I was interested too, till I seen the pics.

    Thats not chrome buddy, thats all the black paint been taken off with sandpaper. And that is gonna tarnish and rust like nobodys business if its left untreated, cos I assume its not real stainless?

    sorry to butt in but, you dont always need sandpaper to take the paint off,
    i just took the slide off,put it in a container with white spirit for about 12 hours, then i scrubed it for about 1 hour with a rough sponge,then i used paint remover(which burnt like crazy) and and i just used a soft sponge,it came off easly and smoothly,then polished it and finally most important of all
    i used silicone oil

    Your dead right my friend, thats a great way of removing paint.;)

    But i can tell from the pics, it was a good old fashioned sandpaper job!!

    (Look at the paint left in the cuts and creases!)

    Sorry for the confusion, its not actually chrome, no airsoftgun is. Its just a term used to describe colour.

    Its been stripped & properly wet sanded with varying grit sandpaper 400-1200 & finished with a polishing compound so it will not tarnish or "rust", (only ferrous metals will rust i.e. steel, iron etc)

    The black paint was left in the "creases" for contrast, as you would see on the real versions.

    It is a very good and smooth looking finish.
    All metals will corrode after a while if not treated/sealed you'll see a white powdery coating forming on the alloy. You should use a wax on it to seal it even car polish will do.
    I'd call these polished :)

    Nice work but far too pimptastic for me :D.
    is that middle slide off a springer?
    I used Brasso & polishing compound with no oxidasiation in the last 6 months anyways.

    90 is way too low man, it owes me a lot more than that.
    your gettin a great gun with 4 working mags - guaranteed, solid upgrades and a nice safe protective case.
    i bet you could put a nice mirror finish on it now that all the monkey work is done.:D
    can you come up any bit at all?

    I like pimptastic :D
    I'd have that gleaming in about 15 minutes with me buffers
    You can't beat the ol brasso and compound! yeah that middle one is a springer, I've done a load without any sealant and they are still sparkling I just use the finest compounds on the mop and it closes all the pores but a belt of wax or bees wax never hurts.

    Did you sand all that by hand?

    €95?
