    Hey guys,

    Just need a bit of advice before i or someone start doing it.

    I love my m9 co2 pistol:D, the only thing i would crib about it is that its not chrome:(, now it seems to have a metal body:eek:.
    I'm just wondering is the metal on the kj m9 co2 good enough to polish to get a chrome effect:confused: or would i have to go a different route to make this effect possible except putting on abs bodies with chrome on it...

    Any advice on this would be appretiated..:D

    If you've got a decent polishing rig you can get a shiny surface on most metals... problem is that if it's not actually chromed or sealed in some way you will need to re-polish it regularly as they rust and tarnish quite easily.

    Thanks for that Rampant, yeah i was wondering would the metal itself tarnish like for eg brass when polished and left alone.
    My biggest worry about doing it is the what kind of shiny surface would it produce as i know some metals when polished will only give a clean satin sheen if you know what i mean.....

    I know WE do a full metal chrome M9 blowback, just wondering if they would fit the kjw m9 co2....?
