Help
I was wondering how much it would be to paint one pair of Vforce Grills in SpecOps Digi? Just a Ballpark would be fine right now, if you even do masks.

Last I checked, V-force masks are terribly hard to paint for big bone, and the paint flakes off. Two alternatives are; The SpecOps digi mask cover from SpecOps, or the Save Phace custom painted mask in SpecOps digi from SpecOps.
Real agglets don't have sigs :dodgy:

True.
Basically any paintball mask w/ any flexible rubber/plastic areas will be difficult to paint. Rephrase, painting it is easy - getting it to stay is near impossible. The exception is the Save Phace masks AM referenced, they are made entirely of a hard plastic which holds the paint well. I know some folks have painted their flexible masks w/ some success but eventually the paint crack & peels.
The harder plastic areas around the lens of my Profiler has held it's paint well, but I have Multicam fabric adhered over the flexible portions because paint would just peel right off it.

All very true. There are some DIY possibilities with painting flexible masks using spray paint meant for soft plastics (i.e. krylons fusion paint line). They hang on the soft plastics and rubbers ok.

The Krylon does work ok, but it still flakes...
My cousin owns a Vents Helix (maybe Cylus?) that we painted Multicam using all Krylon & it looks great still after months of play. His mask is pretty rigid, not rubbery at all really. The ears on my Profiler are painted, but cracked/flaked after one day of play. A good portion of the paint is holding on still, but it hardly looks good.
These are a couple of the best pics of our masks from two weeks ago:
