Have you ever looked at a pro marker? 99.999483984302843980% of them are so mismatching it isn't even funny.

Its a Surge Bonez body, purty nice looking but has some age on it and chipped in a few places

ok...I put some thought into this......Strip the marker down...gut the frame, reg and ASA...
1. Replace eyecovers with anything else
2. Reanno...have them strip the body, feedneck, barrel back+front, frame, reg, VA and LPC(/LPR ? can't see it well) and drop/asa
***Body - Dust Black (rear) to Dust Burnt Orange fade (front) that continues for the first 2" of the barrel-back(threads + 2") and fade from there to the threads, to black. Feedneck Orange to match...and barrel front...black at the threads to the last 3" (to the tip), make the tip Orange. Eyecovers, Black.
***Splash anno red and yellow to simulate flames 'licking" the marker
***Frame - Orange near top, faded to black at the bottom...same splash anno scheme
***Drop/ASA - Orange w/ splash
***Reg - 2 tone Orange/black in contrast to the body w/ splash
***VA - Black w/ splash

You can also make aluminum grip panels for them to anno...like the Mako Storm has..

It looks like you put a lot of thought into it. I see what youre saying, but i just cant picture the splash and how that would look, and would cost $175 on FBM, which I'm willing to spend if I'm absolutely sure of it. Let me think it over

Druid kinda put "Think BIG" idea in my head, possibly a themed marker like the awesome Megaman Timmy
