I was very skeptical the first time I saw the Black Copper Stingray online...of course I had seen the Black Heimdall before that, just hadn't given it much thought till the Stingray I guess. My thinking was "what method could they possibly be using that wasn't also easily damaged"...and a couple months later I see a pic of a Stingray with the black almost completely faded, and a company on Calivapers offering to remove the black paint on them for you. What a flop
Lame gimmicks not needed - a decent high end mod that looks good and clean and hits hard is going to be bought by the same people that always buy them. And JDTech had already won people with first the Stingray and then the Red Copper Stingray - not sure why they felt they had to release a gimmicky, essentially substandard product. I think if high end mod makers perceive that they need to come up with new designs to shock you and catch your eye, it is from their perspective only, as some of the most famous mods and many current mods that currently sell out before they are even released, are more or less plain tubes spiced up a little bit.

For me, that's the issue. It does look very nice but i just know it's destined to fade, scuff etc. I won't buy a colour coated mod for that reason.
I've been looking at the tac mods ar-mod & the black coating scuffs off those although on that mod a few scuffs might compliment it.
For those smooth tube mods though, every scratch is gonna annoy. I always go for practicalities first but this kind of thing tells me i also like things to stay nice. Maybe if someone made an ugly mod we wouldn't have to feel precious about it looking nice !
