It is more suited to one-at-a-time type application than getting parts out in quantity.
    Yes I have read that someplace as well. If mine gets messed up I might look into the Cerakote as there is a local Cerakote place nearby.

    Masking Tape just ate away KMR's Black finish?

    Are you sure it's finish coming off vs masking tape staying put?? I've had masking tape leave nasty residue a couple of times.

    Thankfully the black is just a cosmetic finish, but if it's peeling like that it still annoying.

    Bright side being that you were painting it anyway? I have rubs on mine from lights, mounts and rail pieces; but I can't say that they bother me much.

    You can tell who is from the barfcom, safe queen, fit and finish crew. They love to find any reason to bash BCM. If they'd actually take their AR out and shoot it they'd see you get scratches and scuffs. Maybe you people crying about the finish should read about it first.

    Pretty, uncalled for I would say. I'm no safe queen addict, but given that I just dropped $300 on a rail I'd be pissed if something like tape peeled the finish off my part.

    Could be a combo of the heat from drying the paint job in the sun and the 8 hours of the tape sticking on there.... I can't imagine there's a chemical issue with the tape, but who knows?

    Could easily be a chemical reaction to the KMR finish caused by the tape adhesive, activated by the paint.

    Ive seen it happen before on other things. Shitty masking tape causes issues. Use the green tape or go home.

    That's what I'm thinking. I'll admit though... I'm not willing to put a piece of tape on my rail to find out.

    I guess I could try it, but if something happened I'd have to be honest and feed the chicken little sky is falling crowd. I really don't want to foster that nonsense.

    The top color coat of the KMR has been shown to be kinda weak, especially around the edges. It's OK to accept the truth here, and I'm happy to believe BCM when they say that clear primer/noncorrosive finish underneath is good to go and still does its job when the top layer is busted. The cutting edge weight and design of the KMR is worth it to me - and I paint my guns anyway.

    Let's not turn this into another Mbus PRO crooked mounted sights drama thread where people pretend to ignore something with an issue because its from a favorite brand.
