True. I got some cheap textured spray paint that's an exact match. I spray some in the cap and used a flattened tooth pick to carefully dab it on the dings. They're gone.
There are videos out their of some the different finishes, some on the Reo site. I was just worried about the feel. Stripper (acetone) will strip anything but, anodized and plated. Don't hold your breath for Rob to produce more plated ones. He's not doing this to break even or loose money.
Thank you. I like the fact that my silver Mini doesn't show scratches and dings because it's the same color as the aluminum underneath. That would be a big plus for the TRA. I really don't like a glassy smooth finish though. It makes my hand sweat and to me it always feels like it's leaking...
A low profile 14500 Mini with the new contacts and 510 connector would be awesome. I would just have to decide on black wrinkle or TRA. I hate slick, slimy finishes like on my current silver anodized 14500. I also had a smooth powder coated door once and I hated it enough I striped it off after...
The catch cup on them is only 13.09mm (33/64") so there are very few attys that fit. I have the 3 standard profile RM2s, a Hornet, and a Phoenix V3 that fit.
My charger has 4 slots and there are always 4 batteries in it. I take one out if I need to put one in. I number my batteries so they get rotated, but that's about as much thought as I put into it.
I hate it when you can't get a pic of what something really looks like. Like when you try to show someone how a silver vein door contrasts with a black wrinkle body. In a picture it usually just winds up all black.
