    Might be more appropriately called the Basque coat?

    Tone tends not to come through in text form. Use this: if you feel like being facetious.

    Hopefully BCM will determine a finish that will at least be equivalent to anodizing in regards to durability.

    This got me imagining a line of OD green lingerie emblazoned with the BCM logo. And to be honest I got a little too excited for my own good....

    The KKK took your finish away.....

    So lapping came from Lapland?

    Finishing our alloy is not easy. The method we're using is equivalent in terms of durability with respect to the substrate. Unfortunately, the hardest part of the coating is closest to the substrate, and is white in appearance.

    Technology evolves all the time though, and we never rest when it comes to improvement.

    Masking Tape just ate away KMR's Black finish?

    While we are talking about finishes on the KMR, I'm contemplating cutting mine and I was wondering if you have any recommendations on re-doing the finish.

    I wonder how well stuff will stick to the black finish, and I wonder how well stuff will stick to the bare, cut alloy.

    Any thoughts / suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    -john
